Abstract

The current status of special function unit (SFU) use in microcomputer systems is reviewed. Also outlined are areas where more sophisticated SFUs can be used to improve low- and high-level software environments in a microcomputer system. A structured machine model is presented to help containerize and control classes of software and hardware artifacts.
