Recent progress in worst case timing analysis of programs has made it possible to perform accurate timing analysis of pipelined execution and instruction caching, which is necessa...
Application domain specific DSP cores are becoming increasingly popular due to their advantageous trade–off between flexibility and cost. However, existing code generation metho...

Embedded application requirements, including high performance, low power consumption and fast time to market, are uncommon in the broader domain of general purpose applications. I...
In this paper, we look at two issues which could affect the performance of value prediction on wide-issue ILP processors. One is the large number of accesses to the value predicti...
Dynamic predication has been proposed to reduce the branch misprediction penalty due to hard-to-predict branch instructions. A recently proposed dynamic predication architecture, ...
