We suggest a new technique to reduce energy consumption in the processor datapath without sacrificing performance by exploiting operand value locality at run time. Data locality is...
We present an application-driven customization methodology for energy-efficient inter-core communication in embedded multiprocessors. The methodology leverages configurable cach...
Power consumption within the memory hierarchy grows in importance as on-chip data caches occupy increasingly greater die area. Among dynamic power conservation schemes, horizontal...
On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...
With the widening performance gap between processors and main memory, efficient memory accessing behavior is necessary for good program performance. Loop partition is an effective...
