Scratchpads have been widely proposed as an alternative to caches for embedded systems. Advantages of scratchpads include reduced energy consumption in comparison to a cache and a...
As transistor density continues to grow at an exponential rate in accordance to Moore’s law, the goal for many Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) systems is to scale the number of on-ch...
