This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate the effects of encodings on the power consumption of system-level buses in the presence of multi-level cache memories. The proposed m...

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...
Caches play an important role in embedded systems by bridging the performance gap between high speed processors and slow memory. At the same time, caches introduce imprecision in ...
Caches may consume half of a microprocessor’s total power and cache misses incur accessing off-chip memory, which is both time consuming and energy costly. Therefore, minimizing...
Dynamic binary translators (DBT) have recently attracted much attention for embedded systems. The effective implementation of DBT in these systems is challenging due to tight cons...
