Johansen, J. (author)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...master thesis 2016

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...master thesis 2015

Meun, K. (author)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...master thesis 2015

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....master thesis 2014

Van den Broeke, G. (author), Mul, D.P.N. (author)Deze scriptie betreft een onderzoek naar het versnellen van een JPEG-decoder in een embedded systeem. Hierbij wordt de ?-VEX VLIW-processor als accelerator gebruikt. Onderzocht wordt hoe de hardware en software aan elkaar kunnen worden aangepast om de applicatie zo snel mogelijk uit te voeren.bachelor thesis 2011
