Performance evaluation using only a subset of programs from a benchmark suite is commonplace in computer architecture research. This is especially true during early design space e...
Embedded system programs tend to spend much time in small loops. Introducing a very small loop cache into the instruction memory hierarchy has thus been shown to substantially red...
The increasing usage of Application Specific Instruction Set Processors (ASIPs) in audio and video telecommunications has made strong demands on the rapid availability of dedicat...
