Efficient design of embedded processors plays a critical role in embedded systems design.
Processor description languages and their associated specification, exploration and rapid …

In this paper, we present a methodology to understand GPU microarchitectural features and
improve performance for compute-intensive kernels. The methodology relies on a reverse …

Abstract Dynamic Binary Translation (DBT) techniques have been largely used in the
migration of legacy code and in the transparent execution of programs across different …

Application-specific circuits are used to migrate computer systems from workstations to
handheld devices that need real-time performance within the budget for physical size and …

The ongoing trend towards development of parallel software and the increased flexibility of
state-of-the-art programmable logic devices are currently converging in the field of …

Transactional memory (TM) is an emerging synchronization mechanism that aims to solve
most of the difficulties inherent in lock-based approaches. TM implementations may either …

SoC design space exploration requires code generation for several CPU core alternatives.
However, an embedded software code generation toolkit cannot be developed from scratch …

This paper presents a framework for generating assembler and disassembler from ADL
(architecture description language), which enables processor architecture designers to …

This thesis describes the design of the universal assembler that represents a part of the
Lissom project. You will be provided with the description of the assembler architectures and …

Embedded software evaluation for distinct CPU targets is required during SoC design space
exploration. To cope with time-to-market, such exploration asks for automatically …
