As a pedagogical exercise in ACL2, we formalize and prove the correctness of a write invalidate cache scheme. In our formalization, an arbitrary number of processors, each with its...
Effective use of the memory hierarchy is critical for achieving high performance on embedded systems. We focus on the class of streaming applications, which is increasingly preval...

Heterogeneous multicores, such as Cell BE processors and GPGPUs, typically do not have caches for their accelerator cores because coherence traffic, cache misses, and latencies fr...
The capability of performing architectural exploration has become essential for embedded microprocessor design in System-On-Chip. While many retargetable instruction set (ISA) sim...
Customisable embedded processors are becoming available on the market, thus making it possible for designers to speed up execution of applications by using Application-specific F...
