Multimedia applications in general and video processing, such as the MPEG4 Visual stream decoders, in particular are increasingly popular and important workloads for future embedd...
Scratch-pad memory is becoming an important fixture in embedded multimedia systems. It is significantly more efficient than the cache, in performance and power, and has the add...
The instruction cache is a popular target for optimizations of microprocessor-based systems because of the cache’s high impact on system performance and power, and because of th...
— Modern CPUs operate at GHz frequencies, but the latencies of memory accesses are still relatively large, in the order of hundreds of cycles. Deeper cache hierarchies with large...
