Certain hard real-time tasks demand precise timing of events, but the usual software solution of periodic interrupts driving a scheduler only provides precision in the millisecond ...
Code placement techniques have traditionally improved instruction fetch bandwidth by increasing instruction locality and decreasing the number of taken branches. However, traditio...
The instruction cache is a popular target for optimizations of microprocessor-based systems because of the cache’s high impact on system performance and power, and because of th...
— Next generation multimedia mobile phones that use the high bandwidth 3G cellular radio network consume more power. Multimedia algorithms such as speech, video transcodecs have ...
