Abstract— The continuing divergence of processor and memory speeds has led to the increasing reliance on larger caches which have become major consumers of area and power in embe...
—The contribution of memory latency to execution time continues to increase, and latency hiding mechanisms become ever more important for efficient processor design. While high-...
Leakage power has grown significantly and is a major challenge in microprocessor design. Leakage is the dominant power component in second-level (L2) caches. This paper presents t...
: The exposed memory hierarchies employed in many network processors (NPs) are expensive in terms of meeting the worst-case processing requirement. Moreover, it is difficult to ef...
The widening gap between processor and memory speeds renders data locality optimization a very important issue in data-intensive embedded applications. Throughout the years hardwa...
