: This paper presents an evaluation of our Scheduled Dataflow (SDF) Processor. Recent focus in the field of new processor architectures is mainly on VLIW (e.g. IA-64), superscalar ...
Energy consumption is of significant concern in battery operated embedded systems. In the processors of such systems, the instruction cache consumes a significant fraction of the ...
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...
: Since the era of vector and pipelined computing, the computational speed is limited by the memory access time. Faster caches and more cache levels are used to bridge the growing ...
Esterel is a concurrent synchronous language for developing reactive systems. As an alternative to the classical software and hardware synthesis paths, the reactive processing app...
