This paper investigates the potential for automatic mapping of typical embedded applications to architectures with multimedia instruction set extensions. For this purpose a (patter...
Many commercially available embedded processors are capable of extending their base instruction set for a specific domain of applications. While steady progress has been made in t...
In this paper, we describe an algorithm and implementation of locality optimizations for architectures with instruction sets such as Intel’s SSE and Motorola’s AltiVec that su...
With advances in semiconductor technology, processors are becoming larger and more complex. Future processor designers will face an enormous design space, and must evaluate more a...
Abstract-- The power consumption of microprocessors has been increasing in step with the complexity of each progressive generation. In general purpose processors, this is primarily...
