Shared instruction-set extensions for soft multiprocessor systems implemented on field-programmable gate arrays

Soft-core embedded systems implemented on FPGAs offer a high level of flexibility. Application specific customizations can be added in the form of extensions to the processor’s regular instruction-set. These custom instructions benefit run-time performance, but come at the cost of increased resource...
