Abstract
A method of extending a processor system within an integrated circuit (IC) can include executing program code within the processor system implemented within the IC, wherein the IC includes a programmable fabric. The processor system further can be coupled to the programmable fabric. A process can be performed using a process-specific circuit implemented within the programmable fabric in lieu of using the processor system. A result of the process from the process-specific circuit can be made available to the processor system.
