Heterogeneous reconfigurable systems provide drastically higher performance and lower
power consumption than traditional CPU-centric systems. Moreover, they do it at much lower …

For a design to survive unforeseen physical effects like aging, temperature variation, and/or
emergence of new application standards, adaptability needs to be supported. Adaptability …

In this paper, we present a polymorphic processor paradigm incorporating both general-
purpose and custom computing processing. The proposal incorporates an arbitrary number …

Technological and architectural improvements have been constantly required to sustain the
demand of faster and cheaper computers. However, CMOS down-scaling is suffering from …

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) are becoming more and more popular and are used
in many applications. However, it is well known that the performance is limited comparing to …

This paper presents the architectural design of a reconfigurable and extensible very long
instruction word (VLIW) processor. In addition to architectural extensibility, our processor …

This paper addresses the problem of efficiently and accurately generating two-vector tests
for crosstalk induced effects, such as pulses, signal speedup and slowdown, in digital …

Processor Design addresses the design of different types of embedded, firmware-
programmable computation engines. Because the design and customization of embedded …

Algorithms for computational imaging and computer vision are rapidly evolving, and
hardware must follow suit: the next generation of image signal processors (ISPs) must be …

According to the granularity of configuration, reconfigurable systems are classified in two
categories, which are the fine-and coarse-grain ones. The purpose of this chapter is to study …
