Abstract

A system and method for configuring a microprocessor core may allow a microprocessor core to be configurable. Configuration may be dynamic or automatic using an application program. Microprocessor memory, decoding units, arithmetic logic units, register banks, storage, register bypass units, and a user interface may be configured. The configuration may also be used to optimize an instruction set to run on the microprocessor core.
