Energy-Efficient Design for Highly Associative Instruction Caches in Next-Generation Embedded Processors
This paper proposes a low-energy solution for CAMbased highly associative I-caches using a segmented wordline and a predictor-based instruction fetch mechanism. Not all instructio...

A low power front-end for embedded processors using a block-aware instruction set
Energy, power, and area efficiency are critical design concerns for embedded processors. Much of the energy of a typical embedded processor is consumed in the front-end since inst...
