Redefining the hardware-software boundary in networked systems
While the traditional division between hardware and software development provides a useful layer of abstraction that allows developers to create complex software applications with limited knowledge of the underlying hardware, it has led to an inflexible boundary between the division of labor in …

Optimizations for acyclic dataflow graphs for hardware-software codesign
Most computationally-intensive programs spend a majority of their time within a small portion of the executable code. A novel computer architecture and compiler, called PRISM-2, is introduced, which improves the performance of these programs by synthesizing the "most often" executed instructions. …

Register Transfer Level Simulation Acceleration via Hardware/Software Process Migration
… Gate Arrays (FPGAs) opens new avenues to hardware reuse. Through the use of process migration between hardware and software, an FPGA provides a parallel execution cache. Busy processes can be migrated into hardware-based, parallel processors, and idle processes can be migrated out …
