Network processors today consists of multiple parallel processors (microengines) with support for multiple threads to exploit packet level parallelism inherent in network workload...
This paper combines an adaptive supply-voltage scheme with self-timed CMOS digital design, to achieve low power performance. The supply-voltage automatically tracks the input data...
Low energy consumption is becoming the primary design consideration for battery-operated and portable embedded systems, such as personal digital assistants, digital still and movi...
The size and speed of first-level caches and SRAMs of embedded processors continue to increase in response to demands for higher performance. In power-sensitive devices like PDAs a...
The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
