In current processors, the cache controller, which contains the cache directory and other logic such as tag comparators, is active for each instruction fetch and is responsible fo...
The high-frequency oscillator is one of the major causes of both high power consumption and high ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) in Embedded Systems (ES). This paper presents a...
A new split accumulator architecture to be used in direct digital frequency synthesizers (DDFS) systems is presented. This new design eliminates the need of adders on the section ...
Tag comparison elimination (TCE) is an effective approach to reduce I-cache energy. Current research focuses on finding good tradeoffs between hardware cost and percentage of comp...
Power is an increasingly important design constraint for FPGAs in nanometer technologies. Because interconnect power is dominant in FPGAs, we design Vdd-programmable interconnect ...
