Portable embedded systems are being driven by consumer demands to be thermally efficient, perform faster, and have longer battery life. To design such a system, various hardware un...
In this paper we present a verification platform designed for HyperTransport 3.x (HT3) applications. HyperTransport 3.x is a very low latency and high bandwidth chip-tochip interc...
Untolerated load instruction latencies often have a significant impact on overall program performance. As one means of mitigating this effect, we present an aggressive hardware-b...
The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the average memory access latency. Improving the cache hit rate can have significant positive impact on the per...
