Expressing Intent: An evaluation of the Arm Machine Readable Specification

The behaviour of software is intrinsically linked to the hardware it runs on. As hardware innovations continuously change the landscape of computing, software has to adapt to these changes. Running legacy software on new hardware requires either the old hardware to be emulated, or a very time-consuming and error-prone process of reverse...

Dynamic Hardware Binary Translator for ρ-VEX

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...
