This paper describes the challenges presented by singlechip parallel media processors (PMPs). These machines integrate multiple parallel function units, instruction execution, and...
Memory delays represent a major bottleneck in embedded systems performance. Newer memory modules exhibiting efficient access modes (e.g., page-, burst-mode) partly alleviate this ...
We present a framework for rapidly exploring the design space of low power application-specific programmable processors (ASPP), in particular mediaprocessors. We focus on a catego...

One of the primary challenges in embedded system design is designing the memory hierarchy and restructuring the application to take advantage of it. This task is particularly impo...
Embedded computing architectures can be designed to meet a variety of application specific requirements. However, optimized hardware can require compiler support to realize the po...
