The key to increasing performance without a commensurate increase in power consumption in modern processors lies in increasing both parallelism and core specialization. Core speci...
In the paper the problem of processor/compiler codesign for digital signal processing and embedded SYstems is discussed. The main principle we follow is the top-down approach char...
A fully programmable radio baseband processor architecture is presented. The architecture is based on a DSP processor core and a number flexible accelerators, connected via a con...
We present a system-level approach for power optimization under a set of user specified costs and timing constraints of hard real-time designs. The approach optimizes all three d...
In multi-core processors there are several ways to pair a thread to a particular core. These load-balancing techniques result in a quite different power, performance and thermal b...
