Memory accesses account for a large percentage of total power in microprocessor-based embedded systems. The increasing use of microprocessor cores and synthesis, rather than prefa...
The key to increasing performance without a commensurate increase in power consumption in modern processors lies in increasing both parallelism and core specialization. Core speci...
Soft-core processors exploit the flexibility of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to allow a system designer to customize the processor to the needs of a target application....
