Efficient memory hierarchy design is critical due to the increasing gap between the speed of the processors and the memory. One of the sources of inefficiency in current caches is...
This paper presents a novel compiler directed technique to reduce the register pressure and power of the register file by releasing registers early. The compiler identifies regi...

Current-generation microprocessors are designed to process instructions with one and two source operands at equal cost. Handling two source operands requires multiple ports for ea...
Abstract-- The power consumption of microprocessors has been increasing in step with the complexity of each progressive generation. In general purpose processors, this is primarily...
The growing software content in various battery-driven embedded systems has led to significant interest in technologies for energy-efficient embedded software. While lowenergy sof...
