Improving software pipelining with hardware support for self-spatial loads

Coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA) is a promising architecture with high performance, high power efficiency, and attraction of flexibility. The computation-intensive portions of applications, i.e., loops, are often implemented on CGRAs for ...

Software pipelining is a technique to improve the performance of a loop by overlapping the execution of several iterations. The execution of a software-pipelined loop goes through three phases: prolog, kernel, and epilog. Software pipelining works best ...

In recent years, the microprocessor industry has embraced chip multiprocessors (CMPs), also known as multi-core architectures, as the dominant design paradigm. For existing and new applications to make effective use of CMPs, it is desirable that ...
