TLDR
Novel aspects of the Garp Architecture are presented, as well as a prototype software environment and preliminary performance results, which suggest that a Garp of similar technology could achieve speedups ranging from a factor of 2 to as high as a factors of 24 for some useful applications.
Abstract
Typical reconfigurable machines exhibit shortcomings that make them less than ideal for general-purpose computing. The Garp Architecture combines reconfigurable hardware with a standard MIPS processor on the same die to retain the better features of both. Novel aspects of the architecture are presented, as well as a prototype software environment and preliminary performance results. Compared to an UltraSPARC, a Garp of similar technology could achieve speedups ranging from a factor of 2 to as high as a factor of 24 for some useful applications.

Optimization of behavioral IPs in multi-processor system-on-chips

TL;DR: This work introduces a method to automatically identify the workload of each behavioral IP mapped as a slave on an MPSoC system and re-synthesizes it to maximize its efficiency, i.e. reduce its area and minimize its idle time, without affecting the overall performance.
