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...
— Traditional level-one instruction caches and data caches for embedded systems typically have the same capacities. Configurable caches either shut down a part of the cache to su...
The number of embedded systems is increasing and a remarkable percentage is designed as mobile applications. For the latter, the energy consumption is a limiting factor because of...

As memory speeds and bus capacitances continue to rise, external memory bus power will make up an increasing portion of the total system power budget for system-on-a-chip embedded...
Application-specific customization of the instruction set helps embedded processors achieve significant performance and power efficiency. In this paper, we explore customizatio...
