In this paper we describe a methodology for the formal verification of a DSP chip using the HOL theorem prover. We used an iterative method to specify both the behavioral and stru...
According to dramatically growing interesting in power-efficient embedded processor, designers must establish the proper power strategy when they design new embedded processor core...
Share of leakage in cache memories is increasing with technology scaling. Studies show that most stored bits in instruction caches are zero, and hence, asymmetric SRAM cells which...
Abstract. Power-balanced instruction scheduling for Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processors is an optimization problem which requires a good instruction-level power model for ...

Instruction-set extensible processors allow an existing processor core to be extended with application-specific custom instructions. In this paper, we explore a novel application...
