In the design of real-time and embedded systems, it is important to establish a bound on the worst-case execution time (WCET) of programs to assure via schedulability analysis tha...

— Architectural resources and program recurrences are the main limitations to the amount of Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) exploitable from loops, the most time-consuming pa...
Programming specialized network processors (NPU) is inherently difficult. Unlike mainstream processors where architectural features such as out-of-order execution and caches hide ...
The architectural design of embedded systems is becoming increasingly idiosyncratic to meet varying constraints regarding energy consumption, code size, and execution time. Tradit...
Even after carefully tuning the memory characteristics to the application properties and the processor speed, during the execution of real applications there are times when the pr...
