High performance microprocessors are designed with generalpurpose applications in mind. When it comes to embedded applications, these architectures typically perform controlintens...
With the increasing performance gap between the processor and the memory, the importance of caches is increasing for high performance processors. However, with reducing feature si...
This paper introduces a compiler-orchestrated prefetching system as a unified framework geared toward ameliorating the gap between processing speeds and memory access latencies. ...

Scaling of CMOS technology causes the power supply voltages to fall and supply currents to rise at the same time as operating speeds are increasing. Falling supply voltages cause ...
With increasing chip densities, future microprocessor designs have the opportunity to integrate many of the traditional systemlevel modules onto the same chip as the processor. So...
