This thesis takes a HW/SW collaborative approach to tackle the problem of computational inefficiency in a holistic manner. The hardware is redesigned by restraining the datapath to merely 16-bit datawidth (integer datapath only) to provide an extremely simple, low-cost, low-complexity execution core which is best at executing the most common case efficiently. This redesign, referred to as the Narrow Bitwidth Architecture, is unique in that although the datapath is squeezed to 16-bits, it continues to offer the advantage of higher memory addressability like the contemporary wider datapath architectures. Its interface to the outside (software) world is termed as the Narrow ISA. The software is responsible for efficiently mapping the cur...
