RECONFIGURABLE INSTRUCTION SET COMPUTING

摘要

A system and method for adding reconfigurable computational instructions to a reduced instruction set computer (110) utilizing a progammable logic device (130) to execute the reconfigurable computational instructions. A compiler (720) is used to determine a configuration for the programmable logic device (130) and to initiate the configuration of the programmable logic device (130) prior to execution of the program (780) containing the reconfigurable computational instructions.
