The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the average memory access latency. Improving the cache hit rate can have significant positive impact on the per...
Energy, power, and area efficiency are critical design concerns for embedded processors. Much of the energy of a typical embedded processor is consumed in the front-end since inst...
Embedded system programs tend to spend much time in small loops. Introducing a very small loop cache into the instruction memory hierarchy has thus been shown to substantially red...
Energy consumption is a crucial factor in designing batteryoperated embedded and mobile systems. The memory system is a major contributor to the system energy in such environments...
