Traditionally, active power has been the primary source of power dissipation in CMOS designs. Although, leakage power is becoming increasingly more important as technology feature...
High-speed serial network interfaces are gaining wide use in connecting multiple processors and peripherals in modern embedded systems, thanks to their size advantage and power ef...
DSP processors usually provide dedicated address generation units (AGUs) to assist address computation. By carefully allocating variables in the memory, DSP compilers take advanta...
The XScale processor family provides user-controllable independent configuration of CPU, bus, and memory frequencies. This feature introduces another handle for the code optimizat...
Reliability in embedded processors can be improved by control flow checking and such checking can be conducted using software or hardware. Proposed software-only approaches suffe...
