Fast custom instruction generation under area constraint
Di Wu, Imyong Lee, Ki‐Young Choi · 2010
Extensible processor provides an efficient mechanism to boost the performance of the whole system without losing much flexibility. However, due to the intense demand of low cost and power consumption, customizing an embedded system has been more difficult than ever. In this paper, we present a framework for custom instruction generation considering both area constraint and resource sharing. We also present how we can speed up the process through pruning and library-based design space exploration.
