Memory space limitation is a serious problem for many embedded systems from diverse application domains. While circuit/packaging techniques are definitely important to squeeze la...
A 4KB page size has been used for Virtual Memory since the sixties. In fact, today, the most common page size is still 4KB. Choosing a page size is finding the middle ground betwe...
This paper evaluates how much extended dictionary-based code compression techniques can reduce the static code size. In their simplest form, such methods statically identify ident...
Automatic vectorization of programs for partitioned-ALU SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) processors has been difficult because of not only data dependency issues but also n...
The performance of the data memory hierarchy is extremely important in current and near future high performance superscalar microprocessors. To address the memory gap, computer de...
