Rising development costs motivate companies to design fewer systems-on-chip, but to make each one they do design more flexible and programmable. Doing so makes it possible to reuse designs to take ...

Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) is a way of improving the performance of a processor by executing operations simultaneously. Modern processors generally have an abundance of execution ...
