In this paper, we investigate the use of instruction set simulators (ISS) based on binary translation to accelerate full timed multiprocessor system simulation at transaction leve...
A Zero Overhead Loop Buffer (ZOLB) is an architectural feature that is commonly found in DSP processors. This buffer can be viewed as a compiler managed cache that contains a sequ...
