The Dynamically Synthesized Execution (DySE) model has been proposed to improve the energy efficiency and performance of general purpose programmable processors. We describe how a DySE Resource (DySER) block can be integrated into a processor pipeline. The block size can be adjusted based on design constraints, but we integrate an 8x8 functional unit array into a simple in-order OpenSPARC T1 pipeline. The instruction set changes and the microarchitectural interface between the DySER block and processor are described.
