Building Data Path for the Custom Instruction

Custom Instruction Generation for Configurable

This paper presents a novel framework to generating efficient custom instructions for common configurable processors with limited numbers of I/O ports in the register files and fixed-length instruction formats, such as RISCs. Unlike previous approaches which generate a single custom instruction from each subgraph, our approach generates a sequence of multiple custom instructions from each subgr...

Automatic Data Path Generation from C code for Custom Processors

The stringent performance constraints and short time to market of modern digital systems require automatic methods for design of high performance applicationspecific architectures. This paper presents a novel algorithm for automatic generation of custom pipelined data path for a given application from its C code. The data path optimization targets both resource utilization and performance. The ...

Custom Instruction Sets for Code Compression

We describe a C compiler tailored to save space in executables. It accepts an arbitrary C program and customizes for it a compact interpreter and interpretive code. In a typical application, the compiler halves its own size. We have written programs that collaborate to compile an arbitrary C program into a compact interpreter and interpretive code. It improves on prior efforts to automatically ...

Hardware / Software Partitioning for Custom Instruction

Custom Building Finite Frames

After the introduction of frame potentials by Benedetto and Fickus, there was an explosion of new results in frame theory. The generalization of this notation to weighted frame potentials yields a physical interpretation for finite frames along the lines of Coulomb’s law in physics. This allows us to use results from classical mechanics to anticipate new results in frame theory. All of this res...
