Automatic Generation of Domain-specific Reconfigurable Function Units
Kezhou Li · Microelectronics & Computer · 2006
Special function unit can efficiently enhance the microprocessor's performance, but the applications that can be accelerated are limited because of its customization. Domains specific reconfigurable function unit (DSRFU) can still speedup the applications, while providing domain flexibility. This paper presents a method, which can generate high quality DSRFUs from multi-expression. Choosing transport triggered architecture as a platform, applying this method to cipher domain validates its efficiency.
