I bet if anyone goes dig into SIGPLAN pappers there might be one or two examples there.
Even if not, I see it as a very interesting Msc or PhD to implement a FPGA to execute LLVM bitcode.
I am not the one lumping all bytecodes together CS papers since the dawn of our industry are. Just go dig a random paper about computer architectures in the 50 and 60's, for example.
Some of them even use bytecode and assembly interchangeably on the same document.
I guess we could eventually consider it a form of bytecode, given its CISC nature.
And when bytecode gets a pure hardware implementation, without any form of microcode support, is it still bytecode or has it become assembly?
