| Research Abstract |
If the input of logic circuit is partially or wholly predetermined, the circuit can be optimized to reduce the logic scale and to improve the maximum operational frequency. This technique is called "hardware specialization". Since the derived circuit depends on the predetermined input data, it is reasonable to adopt reconfigurable logic devices (e.g., FPGA) to implement specialized circuit. In this project, the following three cases were examined as practical examples of hardware specialization techniques : (1) conversion of control software into logic circuit for small and highly responsive control systems, (2) diversification of processor for secure applications by giving different instruction sets for each instance, and (3) optimization of computer cluster configurations for a specific set of application and data size.
