Résumé:
This talk describes recent research on techniques and tools
for customising instruction processors, principally targeting
implementation in field-programmable gate array technology.
Such technology can now support multiple processors on a
single chip, providing an exciting medium for computer
engineers and system architects.
Two research themes will be presented. The first theme
involves a multi-processor architecture with a complex
instruction set, customised for parallel execution of
inductive logic programs. The second theme involves
techniques for producing multi-threaded processors with
customisable instruction sets. Several examples in
bioinformatics and encryption will be used to illustrate
these research themes.
