In this paper, we present several novel strategies to improve software controlled cache utilization, so as to achieve lower power requirements for multi-media and signal processin...
Set-associative caches are traditionally managed using hardwarebased lookup and replacement schemes that have high energy overheads. Ideally, the caching strategy should be tailor...

Multimedia processing on embedded devices requires an architecture that leads to high performance, low power consumption, reduced design complexity, and small code size. In this p...
Multimedia applications in general and video processing, such as the MPEG4 Visual stream decoders, in particular are increasingly popular and important workloads for future embedd...
—The contribution of memory latency to execution time continues to increase, and latency hiding mechanisms become ever more important for efficient processor design. While high-...
