Since the advent of electronic computing, the processors’ clock speed has risen tremendously. Now that energy efficiency requirements have stopped that trend, the number of proc...
Abstract— There is a clear trend of future embedded systems in moving toward wireless, multimedia, multi-functional and ubiquitous applications. This emerges new challenges in th...
The design and evaluation of microprocessor architectures is a difficult and time-consuming task. Although small, handcoded microbenchmarks can be used to accelerate performance e...
A major trend in a modern system-on-chip design is a growing system complexity, which results in a sharp increase of communication traffic on the on-chip communication bus architec...
This paper presents the cache configuration exploration of a programmable system, in order to find the best matching between the architecture and a given application. Here, prog...
