While hardware instruction caches are present in virtually all general-purpose and high-performance microprocessors today, many embedded processors use SRAM or scratchpad memories...
Continuous technology scaling has brought us to a point, where transistors have become extremely susceptible to cosmic radiation strikes, or soft errors. Inside the processor, cac...
Aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for the definition of an instruction-level energy estimation framework for VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) processors. The power mo...
