High power consumption and low energy efficiency have become significant impediments to future performance improvements in modern microprocessors. This paper contributes to the so...
We present an extension to an existing SPARC V8 instruction set simulator, SimICS, to support accurate profiling of branches and instruction cache misses. SimICS had previously su...
Loop caches provide an effective method for decreasing memory hierarchy energy consumption by storing frequently executed code in a more energy efficient structure than the level ...
Energy, power, and area efficiency are critical design concerns for embedded processors. Much of the energy of a typical embedded processor is consumed in the front-end since inst...
Abstract. Customizable processors augmented with application-specific Instruction Set Extensions (ISEs) have begun to gain traction in recent years. The most effective ISEs include...
