Powerful branch predictors along with a large branch target buffer (BTB) are employed in superscalar processors for instruction-level parallelism exploitation. However, the large ...
Filter cache has been proposed as an energy saving architectural feature [9]. A filter cache is placed between the CPU and the instruction cache (I-cache) to provide the instruct...
Energy dissipation in cache memories is becoming a major design issue in embedded microprocessors. Predictive filter cache based instruction cache hierarchy is effective in reduci...
Energy, power, and area efficiency are critical design concerns for embedded processors. Much of the energy of a typical embedded processor is consumed in the front-end since inst...
Abstract-- Digital signal processing (DSP) is used to perform filtering, decimation and down conversion in common communications systems, like in oversampling analog to digital con...
