This paper explores compiler techniques for reducing the memory needed to load and run program executables. In embedded systems, where economic incentives to reduce both ram and r...
In this paper, the program control unit of an embedded RISC processor is enhanced with a novel zerooverhead loop controller (ZOLC) supporting arbitrary loop structures with multip...
Code density is an important issue in memory constrained systems. Some RISC processor, e.g. the THUMB extension in the ARM processor, supports aggressive code size reduction even ...

Decreasing the program size has become an important goal in the design of embedded systems target to mass production. This problem has led to a number of efforts aimed at designin...
— VLIW processors provide higher performance and better efficiency etc. than RISC processors in specific domains like multimedia applications etc. A disadvantage is the bloated...
