Scalable Processor Instruction Set Extension
Jürgen Becker, Alexander J. Thomas · IEEE Design & Test of Computers · 2005
Coarse-grained reconfigurable platforms are good for parallel data-intensive applications but inefficient for sequential control-dominated code. This article explores the integration of the general purpose Sparc-compliant Leon processor with the Extreme Processing Platform reconfigurable data path. The integration's goal is to optimize the execution of complex multimedia applications such as MPEG-4.
