Application-specific instruction set processor (ASIP) has become an important design choice for embedded systems. It can achieve both high flexibility offered by the base processo...
Due to shrinking feature sizes processors are becoming more vulnerable to soft errors. Write-back caches are particularly vulnerable since they hold dirty data that do not exist i...
