Verrer, Daan (author)
Modern implementations of encryption algorithms on CPU’s that use frequent memory lookups of precomputed functions, are vulnerable to Cache based Side­Channel Attacks. The ρ­-VEX processor, a runtime reconfigurable VLIW processor developed at the Computer and Quantum Engineering department at the TU Delft was identified to possibly allow for...

Vermaat, Bas (author)
The ρ-VEX is a processor designed at the Computer Engineering lab at TU Delft to be reconfigurable at runtime, resulting in a processor that can combine or separate instruction lanes according to the program requirements. The current cache for the ρ-VEX processor is direct mapped and always identical to the instruction group configuration. This...

The last years, there has been a increasing trend in embedded system and FPGA im-plementations for greater flexibility and also, a rising adaptation of heterogeneous plat-forms. These platforms often include FPGAs and embedded cores side by side.ρ-VEXcore, developed and maintained by the Computer Engineering group of TU Delft, is aVLIW processor...

The ρ-VEX is a runtime reconfigurable VLIW processor. It is able to exploit both ILP as well as TLP by running one program in multiple lanes, or several programs concurrently. To accurately quantify its performance compared to other processors, it is implemented as an IC.<br/>A fully automatic scripted flow is described, constructing an...

The trend of increasing performance by parallelism is followed by the adoption of heterogeneous systems. In order to allow more fine-tuned balancing between used thread- and instruction level parallelism, the heterogeneous ρ-VEX platform was developed. Pipelining has been a part of microprocessor development for decades to increase throughput of...

Heij, R.W. (author)
In this work a fast and efficient implementation of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based, fixed hardware, streaming multiprocessor architecture for low latency medical image processing is introduced. The design of this computation fabric is based on the ρ-VEX Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) softcore processor and is in influenced by...

Van Straten, J. (author)
This thesis describes the design and implementation of a VLIW processor and associated caches based on the ρ-VEX concept. An ρ-VEX processor must be dynamically (runtime) reconfigurable to behave as a single large processor, two medium-sized processors, or four small processors. This allows a scheduler to optimize for energy and/or performance...

The ?-VEX is a run-time reconfigurable Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processor. This unique processor allows separation of its issue lanes to form independently operating processing cores. Switching between these configuration during run-time allows optimizing the platform for the task(s) it is performing. Porting an Operating System (OS) to...

Van der Wijst, H. (author)
In recent years the use of co-processors to accelerate specific tasks is becoming more common. To simplify the use of these accelerators in software, the OpenCL framework has been developed. This framework provides programs a cross-platform interface for using accelerators. The ?-VEX processor is a run-time reconfigurable VLIW processor. It...

Increased technology scaling not only resulted in a performance increase of the microprocessor, but also led to increasing device vulnerability to external disturbances. Scaling accelerates ageing induced failures of CMOS devices and the average lifetime of electronic devices diminishes. This thesis describes the design and implementation of a...

Daverveldt, M.A.F.M. (author)
This thesis describes the development of an LLVM-based compiler for the ?-VEX processor. The ?-VEX processor is a runtime re- configurable VLIW processor. Currently, two compilers exist that target the ?-VEX processor: a HP-VEX compiler and a GCC-based compiler. We show that both compilers have disadvantages that are very dif- ficult to fix....

Kong, Q. (author)
In this thesis, we present a design of interrupt system upon an extensible and reconfigurable VLIW softcore processor: r-VEX. This interrupt system is designed and implemented in four mechanisms to match different application requirements in terms of the hardware consumption and performance issues (interrupt latency). On the other hand, due to...

Seedorf, R.A.E. (author)
The speed gap between a processor realized in Semi-custom ASIC technology and a processor realized in FPGA technology is narrowing. In processor design, the approach is to define the microarchitecture of the processor and to design and implement it for executing an application domain. In this thesis, we have investigated the approach to design a...
