Instruction selection is the part of a compiler that transforms intermediate representation (IR) code into machine code. Instruction selectors build on a library of hundreds if not thousands of rules. Creating and maintaining these rules is a tedious and ...

Efficiency in embedded systems is paramount to achieve high performance while consuming less area and power. Processors in embedded systems have to be designed carefully to achieve such design constraints. Application Specific Instruction set Processors ...

Accelerating program performance via SIMD vector units is very common in modern processors, as evidenced by the use of SSE, MMX, VSE, and VSX SIMD instructions in multimedia, scientific, and embedded applications. To take full advantage of the vector ...

Pattern matching, acceptance, and parsing algorithms on node-labeled, ordered, ranked trees ('tree algorithms') are important for applications such as instruction selection and tree transformation/term rewriting. Many such algorithms have been ...
