Energy consumption is of significant concern in battery operated embedded systems. In the processors of such systems, the instruction cache consumes a significant fraction of the ...
1 Soft errors induced by radiation are an increasing problem in the microelectronic field. Although traditional models estimate the reliability of memories suffering Single Event U...
Adaptation in embedded processing is key in order to address efficiency. The concept of extensible embedded processors works well if a few a-priori known hot spots exist. However,...
We present a methodology for microarchitectural customization of embedded processors by exploiting application information, thus attaining the twin benefits of processor standardi...
Transistor leakage is poised to become the dominant source of power dissipation in digital systems, and reconfigurable devices are not immune to this problem. Modern FPGAs already...
