Memory Exploration for Low Power, Embedded Systems
In embedded system design, the designer has to choose an onchip memory configuration that is suitable for a specific application. To aid in this design choice, we present a memory...

A Self-Tuning Configurable Cache
The memory hierarchy of a system can consume up to 50% of microprocessor system power. Previous work has shown that tuning a configurable cache to a particular application can red...

Synthesis of customized loop caches for core-based embedded systems
Embedded system programs tend to spend much time in small loops. Introducing a very small loop cache into the instruction memory hierarchy has thus been shown to substantially red...

Tuning of Loop Cache Architectures to Programs in Embedded System Design
Adding a small loop cache to a microprocessor has been shown to reduce average instruction fetch energy for various sets of embedded system applications. With the advent of core-b...

Energy Benefits of a Configurable Line Size Cache for Embedded Systems
Previous work has shown that cache line sizes impact performance differently for different desktop programs – some programs work better with small line sizes, others with larger...
