Focusing on embedded applications, scratchpad memories (SPMs) look like a best-compromise solution when taking into account performance, energy consumption and die area. The main ...
Scratchpad memory (SPM), a fast software-managed onchip SRAM, is now widely used in modern embedded processors. Compared to hardware-managed cache, it is more efficient in perfor...
