Energy consumption is of significant concern in battery operated embedded systems. In the processors of such systems, the instruction cache consumes a significant fraction of the ...
We describe (and demonstrate) the execution model of a computing platform where computation is both incremental and data-driven. We call such an approach delta-driven. The platfor...
The current methodology used in mass-market processor design is to create a single base microarchitecture (e.g., Intel's "Core"or AMD's"K8") that is ...
