Commercial designs are integrating from 10 to 100 embedded functional and storage blocks in a single system on chip (SoC) currently, and the number is likely to increase significa...
— We have simulated the implementation of 16-bit floating point instructions on a Pentium4 and PowerPC G4 and G5 to evaluate the performance impact of these instructions in embed...

While general-purpose homogeneous multi-core architectures are becoming ubiquitous, there are clear indications that, for a number of important applications, a better performance/p...
—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
A well-known challenge during processor design is to obtain best possible results for a typical target application domain by combining flexibility and computational performance. A...
