In an embedded system, the cost of storing a program onchip can be as high as the cost of a microprocessor. Compressing an application’s code to reduce the amount of memory requ...

This paper discusses a register bank assignment problem for a popular network processor--Intel's IXP. Due to limited data paths, the network processor has a restriction that ...
Register file (RF) is extremely vulnerable to soft errors, and traditional redundancy based schemes to protect the RF are prohibitive not only because RF is often in the timing c...
A large multi-ported register file is indispensable for exploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP) in today's dynamically scheduled superscalar processors. The number of ...
—Many application-specific architectures provide indirect addressing modes with auto-increment/decrement arithmetic. Since these architectures generally do not feature an indexe...
