While hardware instruction caches are present in virtually all general-purpose and high-performance microprocessors today, many embedded processors use SRAM or scratchpad memories...
This paper presents a highly predictable, low overhead and yet dynamic, memory allocation strategy for embedded systems with scratch-pad memory. A scratch-pad is a fast compiler-m...
—Reducing energy consumption is an important issue for battery powered embedded computing systems. Content Addressable Memory (CAM)-based Highly-Associative Caches (HAC) are wide...
The high transistor density afforded by modern VLSI processes have enabled the design of embedded processors that use clustered execution units to deliver high levels of performan...
