Application Specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIPs) are needed to handle the future demand of flexible yet high performance computation in mobile devices. The flexibility of ASIPs makes them preferable over fixed function Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Also, a well designed ASIP, has a power consumption comparable to ASICs. However the cost associated with ASlP design is a limiting...
Unlike traditional SoC (System-on-chip) chip, multiprocessor chip that contains multiple independent processors, each processor owns different applications, so we need to make a reasonable multiprocessor chip initialization program. This paper proposes a design for the multiprocessor system initialization. The main contribution is as follows: Firstly, one method for the implementation of multiprocessor...
Due to the potential enhancements in the execution of software based applications shown by Reconfigurable Instruction Set Processors (RISPs), reconfigurable computing has become a subject of great deal of research in the field of computer sciences. Its key feature is the ability to perform the computations in hardware to increase the performance on one hand while retaining much of the flexibility...
Continuous transistor scaling due to improvements in CMOS devices and manufacturing technologies is increasing processor power densities and temperatures; thus, creating challenges when trying to maintain manufacturing yield rates and devices which will be reliable throughout their lifetime. New microarchitectures require new reliability-aware design methods that can face these challenges without...
Embedded processors, like for example processor macros inside modern FPGAs, are becoming widely used in many applications. As soon as these devices are deployed in radioactive environments, designers need hardening solutions to mitigate radiation-induced errors. When low-cost applications have to be developed, the traditional hardware redundancy-based approaches exploiting m-way replication and voting...
