Data access usually leads to more than 50% of the power cost in a modern signal processing system. To realize a low-power design, how to reduce the memory access power is a critica...
Abstract. Embedded systems are special purpose systems which perform predefined tasks with very specific requirements like high performance, low volume or low power. Most of the ...
While set-associative caches incur fewer misses than directmapped caches, they typically have slower hit times and higher power consumption, when multiple tag and data banks are p...
Several types of low power passive equalizer is proposed and optimized in this work. The equalizer topologies include T-junction, parallel R-C and series R-L structures. These str...
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...
