—Reducing energy consumption is an important issue for battery powered embedded computing systems. Content Addressable Memory (CAM)-based Highly-Associative Caches (HAC) are wide...
— Traditional level-one instruction caches and data caches for embedded systems typically have the same capacities. Configurable caches either shut down a part of the cache to su...
In embedded system design, the designer has to choose an onchip memory configuration that is suitable for a specific application. To aid in this design choice, we present a memory...
Set-associative caches are traditionally managed using hardwarebased lookup and replacement schemes that have high energy overheads. Ideally, the caching strategy should be tailor...

Caches may consume half of a microprocessor’s total power and cache misses incur accessing off-chip memory, which is both time consuming and energy costly. Therefore, minimizing...
