SIMD extension is one of the most common and effective technique to exploit data-level parallelism in today’s processor designs. However, the performance of SIMD architectures i...
Register file banking is an effective alternative to monolithic register files in embedded processor based systems. In this work, we propose techniques for performing application s...
