In this paper, we investigate a combination of two techniques — instruction coding and instruction re-ordering — for optimizing energy in embedded processor control. We presen...
VLIW architectures are popular in embedded systems because they offer high-performance processing at low cost and energy. The major problem with traditional VLIW designs is that t...
