While the past research discussed several advantages of multiprocessor-system-on-a-chip (MPSOC) architectures from both area utilization and design verification perspectives over ...
A traditional fixed-function graphics accelerator has evolved into a programmable general-purpose graphics processing unit over the last few years. These powerful computing cores...
Technology trends have led to the advent of multi-core chips in the form of both general-purpose chip multiprocessors (CMPs) and embedded multi-processor systems-on-a-chip (MPSoCs...
A virtual instruction set architecture (V-ISA) implemented via a processor-specific software translation layer can provide great flexibility to processor designers. Recent examp...
