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...
Small area and code size are two critical design issues in most of embedded system designs. In this paper, we tackle these issues by customizing forwarding networks and instructio...

Modern processors used in embedded systems are becoming increasingly powerful, having features like caches and pipelines to speedup execution. While execution speed of embedded so...
The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the memory hierarchy performance. In particular, higher cache hit rate can provide significant performance boos...
Usual cache optimisation techniques for high performance computing are difficult to apply in embedded VLIW applications. First, embedded applications are not always well structur...
