—Huge new design challenges for system-on-chip (SoC) are the result of decreasing time-to-market coupled with rapidly increasing gate counts and embedded software representing 50...
Several features such as reconfiguration, voltage and frequency scaling, low-power operating states, duty-cycling, etc. are exploited for latency and energy efficient application ...
Energy efficiency is a top requirement in embedded system design. Understanding the complex issue of software power consumption in early design phases is of extreme importance to m...
Embedded system programs tend to spend much time in small loops. Introducing a very small loop cache into the instruction memory hierarchy has thus been shown to substantially red...
As memory speeds and bus capacitances continue to rise, external memory bus power will make up an increasing portion of the total system power budget for system-on-a-chip embedded...
