Recently, several loop buffer designs have been proposed to reduce instruction fetch energy due to size and location advantage of loop buffer. Nevertheless, on design complexity di...
— For multimedia applications, loop buffering is an efficient mechanism to reduce the power in the instruction memory of embedded processors. In particular, software controlled ...

The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
The Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) is a very important part in the hardware support for virtual memory management implementation of high performance embedded systems. The TLB...
