Controllable-polarity transistors exhibit a device-level configurability. Indeed, they can be dynamically configured between n- type and p-type. Such property can be exploited in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to replace traditional Look- ...
Reconfigurable arrays combine the benefit of spatial execution, typical of hardware solutions, with that of programmability, present in microprocessors. When mapping software applications (or parts of them) onto hardware, however, fine-grain arrays, such a ...
The main aim of this thesis is to examine the advantages of 3D stacking applied to microprocessors and related integrated microprocessor systems in the architectural level. In the succession of years microprocessors are aiming towards lower power consumpti ...
A heterogeneous interconnect architecture can be a useful approach for the design of 3-D FPGAs. A methodology to investigate heterogeneous interconnection schemes for 3-D FPGAs under different 3-D fabrication technologies is proposed. Application of the pr ...
Soft and highly-customized processors are emerging as a common way to efficiently control large amount of computing resources available on FPGAs. Yet, some processor architectures of choice for DSP and media applications, such as wide-issue VLIW processors ...
Reconfigurable computing is a promising technology that offers an interesting trade-off between flexibility and performance, which many recent multi-core embedded system applications demand. In order to achieve these objectives, it is necessary to optimize ...
Datacenter workloads demand high computational capabilities, flexibility, power efficiency, and low cost. It is challenging to improve all of these factors simultaneously. To advance datacenter capabilities beyond what commodity server designs can provide, ...
Historically, hardware acceleration technologies have either been application-specific, therefore lacking in flexibility, or fully programmable, thereby suffering from notable inefficiencies on an application-by-application basis. To address the growing ne ...

Reconfigurable MPSoCs (Multiprocessor System-on-Chip) could be viable for certain applications niche where the flexibility of FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Array) and software is needed, and a small number of units dismiss other silicon options. However, ...
Despite many advantages of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), they fail to take over the IC design market from Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for high-volume and even medium-volume applications, as FPGAs come with significant cost in ...
