Hypermedia processors: design space exploration

Exploring Hypermedia Processor Design Space

Distributed hypermedia systems that support collaboration are important emerging tools for creation, discovery, management and delivery of information. These systems are becoming increasingly desired and practical as other areas of information technologies advance. A framework is developed for efficiently exploring the hypermedia design space while intelligently capitalizing on tradeoffs betwee...

CRISP: A Template for Reconfigurable Instruction Set Processors

A template for reconfigurable instruction set processors is described. This template defines a design space that enables the exploration of processors potentially suitable for flexible, power and cost efficient implementations of embedded multimedia applications, such as video compression in a hand held device. The template is based on a VLIW processor with a reconfigurable instruction set. In ...

TACO: Rapid Design Space Exploration for Protocol Processors

To meet the tightening requirements on network hardware, the design of programmable processors with networkoptimized hardware, that is, network or protocol processors, has recently attracted interest. In this paper we address the problem of evaluating different architectural configurations for such processors. The proposed methodology enables easy and fast experimentation with different protoco...

Magellan: A Framework for Fast Multi-core Design Space Exploration and Optimization Using Search and Machine Learning

As multi-core processor architectures with tens or even hundreds of cores, not all of them necessarily identical, become common, the current processor design methodology, that relies on large-scale simulations, is not going to scale well because of the number of possibilities to be considered. We need intelligent/efficient techniques to navigate through the processor design space. In this paper...
