As memory speeds and bus capacitances continue to rise, external memory bus power will make up an increasing portion of the total system power budget for system-on-a-chip embedded...
In embedded system-on-a-chip (SoC) applications, the need for integrating heterogeneous processors in a single chip is increasing. An important issue in integrating heterogeneous ...
Data caches are essential in modern processors, bridging the widening gap between main memory and processor speeds. However, they yield very complex performance models, which make...
Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...
—Caches are commonly employed to hide the latency gap between memory and the CPU by exploiting locality in memory accesses. The cache performance strongly influences a system’...
