Evolvable Hardware (EHW) refers to HW design and self-reconfiguration using evolutionary/genetic mechanisms. The paper presents an overview of some key concepts of EHW, comments o...
In single processor architectures, computationallyintensive functions are typically accelerated using hardware accelerators, which exploit the concurrency in the function code to ...
Traditional metrics used to compare hardware designs include area, performance, and power. However, these metrics do not form a complete evaluation of reconfigurable hardware. For...
A novel Hardware Assisted Top-Doc (HAT) component is disclosed. HAT is an optimized content indexing device based on a modified inverted index structure. HAT accommodates patterns...
Profile data is valuable for identifying performance bottlenecks and guiding optimizations. Periodic sampling of a processor's performance monitoring hardware is an effective...
