While hardware instruction caches are present in virtually all general-purpose and high-performance microprocessors today, many embedded processors use SRAM or scratchpad memories...
Abstract. Power consumption is becoming one of the most important constraints for microprocessor design in nanometer-scale technologies. Especially, as the transistor supply voltag...
Adding a small loop cache to a microprocessor has been shown to reduce average instruction fetch energy for various sets of embedded system applications. With the advent of core-b...
Low energy consumption is becoming the primary design consideration for battery-operated and portable embedded systems, such as personal digital assistants, digital still and movi...
Energy dissipation in cache memories is becoming a major design issue in embedded microprocessors. Predictive filter cache based instruction cache hierarchy is effective in reduci...
