On-chip caches represent a sizable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potential...
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...
Java applications rely on Just-In-Time (JIT) compilers or adaptive compilers to generate and optimize binary code at runtime to boost performance. In conventional Java Virtual Mac...
Continuous improvements in integration scale have made major microprocessor vendors to move to designs that integrate several processor cores on the same chip. Chip-multiprocessor...
Limited energy and memory resources are important constraints in the design of an embedded system. Compression is an useful and widely employed mechanism to reduce the memory requ...
