PROJECT TITLE :

A HW/SW Co-designed Programmable Functional Unit

ABSTRACT:

During this paper, we have a tendency to propose a unique programmable useful unit (PFU) to accelerate general purpose application execution on a fashionable out-of-order x86 processor. Code is reworked and instructions are generated that run on the PFU using a co-designed virtual machine (Cd-VM). Results presented during this paper show that this HW/SW co-designed approach produces average speedups in performance of 29% in SPECFP and nineteen% in SPECINT, and up-to 55%, over modern out-of-order processor.
