Instruction combining is an optimization to replace a sequence of instructions with a more efficient instruction yielding the same result in a fewer machine cycles. When we use it...
Abstract. The large and growing impact of memory hierarchies on overall system performance compels designers to investigate innovative techniques to improve memory-system efficienc...
Multimedia vector instruction sets are becoming ubiquitous in most of the embedded systems used for multimedia, networking and communications. However, current compiler technology...
To enable optimizations in memory access behavior of high performance applications, cache monitoring is a crucial process. Simulation of cache hardware is needed in order to allow...
Continuing improvements in semiconductor fabrication density are enabling new classes of System-on-aChip architectures that combine extensive processing logic and high-density mem...
