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 ...
We propose a technique for reducing the energy spent in the memory-processor interface of an embedded system during the execution of firmware code. The method is based on the idea ...
