Abstract: Tomorrow’s embedded devices need to run high-resolution multimedia applications which need an enormous computational complexity with a very low energy consumption const...
Customisable embedded processors are becoming available on the market, thus making it possible for designers to speed up execution of applications by using Application-specific F...
This paper presents the design of a low power spread spectrum correlator. We look at two major approaches and evaluate the best alternative for power reduction. We first consider...
Register files (RF) represent a substantial portion of the energy budget in modern processors, and are growing rapidly with the trend towards wider instruction issue. The actual ...
The key issues for register file design in high-performance processors are access time and energy. While previous work has focused on reducing the number of registers, we propose...
The development of compiler-based mechanisms to reduce the percentage of hotspots and optimize the thermal profile of large register files has become an important issue. Thermal...
Multiported register files are a critical component of high-performance superscalar microprocessors. Conventional multiported structures can consume significant power and die ar...
The register file is a power-hungry device in modern architectures. Current research on compiler technology and computer architectures encourages the implementation of larger dev...
In recent years, processor manufacturers have converged on two types of register file architectures. Both IBM with its POWER series and Intel with its Pentium series are using a ...
Centralized register file architectures scale poorly in terms of clock rate, chip area, and power consumption and are thus not suitable for consumer electronic devices. The conse...
