The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the average memory access latency. Improving the cache hit rate can have significant positive impact on the per...
Hard-to-predict branches depending on longlatency cache-misses have been recognized as a major performance obstacle for modern microprocessors. With the widening speed gap between...
