Hard-disk drive power consumption reduction methods focus mainly on increasing the amount of time the disk is in standby mode (disk spun down) by implementing aggressive data read...
Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor (DRP)[1] developed by NEC Electronics is a coarse grain reconfigurable processor that selects a data path from the on-chip repository of sixte...
The memory subsystem accounts for a significant portion of the aggregate energy budget of contemporary embedded systems. Moreover, there exists a large potential for optimizing th...
This paper makes the case that pin bandwidth will be a critical consideration for future microprocessors. We show that many of the techniques used to tolerate growing memory laten...
Previous studies have shown that buffering packets in DRAM is a performance bottleneck. In order to understand the impediments in accessing the DRAM, we developed a detailed Petri...
