Application-specific system-on-chip platforms create the opportunity to customize the cache configuration for optimal performance with minimal chip estate. Simulation, in partic...
Energy efficiency is an important factor in embedded systems design. We consider an embedded system with a dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) capable processor and its system-wide pow...
Stride-based prefetching mechanisms exploit regular streams of memory accesses to hide memory latency. While these mechanisms are effective, they can be improved by studying the p...
This paper proposes a new efficient buffer management technique called shift buffering for automatic code synthesis from synchronous dataflow graphs (SDF). Two previous buffer man...
This paper presents Spinach, a new simulator toolset specifically designed to target programmable network interface architectures. Spinach models both system components that are ...
