In this paper, the program control unit of an embedded RISC processor is enhanced with a novel zerooverhead loop controller (ZOLC) supporting arbitrary loop structures with multip...
Retargetable C compilers are nowadays widely used to quickly obtain compiler support for new embedded processors and to perform early processor architecture exploration. One frequ...

The aggressive evolution of the semiconductor industry — smaller process geometries, higher densities, and greater chip complexity — has provided design engineers the means to...
Code density is an important issue in memory constrained systems. Some RISC processor, e.g. the THUMB extension in the ARM processor, supports aggressive code size reduction even ...
