The key to increasing performance without a commensurate increase in power consumption in modern processors lies in increasing both parallelism and core specialization. Core speci...
The market demand for portable multimedia applications has exploded in the recent years. Unfortunately, for such applications current compilers and software optimization methods o...

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...
Energy, power, and area efficiency are critical design concerns for embedded processors. Much of the energy of a typical embedded processor is consumed in the front-end since inst...
— In this paper, a programmable analog retina is presented and compared with state of the art MPU for embedded imaging applications. The comparison is based on the energy require...
