Branch prediction accuracy is a very important factor for superscalarprocessor performance. The ability topredict the outcome of a branch allows the processor to effectively use a...
High-performance and low-power VLIW DSP processors are increasingly deployed on embedded devices to process video and multimedia applications. For reducing power and cost in desig...
The energy efficiency of systems-on-a-chip can be much improved if one were to vary the supply voltage dynamically at run time. In this paper we describe the synthesis of systems-...

Code size expansion of software-pipelined loops is a critical problem for DSP systems with strict code size constraint. Some ad-hoc code size reduction techniques were used to try...
Current-generation microprocessors are designed to process instructions with one and two source operands at equal cost. Handling two source operands requires multiple ports for ea...
