As soft processors are increasingly used in diverse applications, there is a need to evolve their microarchitectures in a way that suits the FPGA implementation substrate. This pa...
Consumer electronics today such as cell phones often have one or more low-power FPGAs to assist with energyintensive operations in order to reduce overall energy consumption and i...
Energy dissipation in cache memories is becoming a major design issue in embedded microprocessors. Predictive filter cache based instruction cache hierarchy is effective in reduci...
To reduce power, Vdd programmability has been proposed recently to select Vdd-level for interconnects and to powergate unused interconnects. However, Vdd-level converters used in ...
—Systems on Chip (SoCs) congregate multiple modules and advanced interconnection schemes, such as networks on chip (NoCs). One relevant problem in SoC design is module mapping on...
