Code optimizations for narrow bitwidth architectures
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-02-23)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis takes a HW/SW collaborative approach to tackle the problem of computational inefficiency in a holistic manner. The hardware is redesigned by restraining the datapath to merely 16-bit datawidth (integer datapath ... -
Co-designed solutions for overhead removal in dynamically typed languages
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-07-26)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessDynamically typed languages are ubiquitous in today's applications. These languages ease the task of programmers but introduce significant runtime overheads since variables are neither declared nor bound to a particular ... -
