Loop caches provide an effective method for decreasing memory hierarchy energy consumption by storing frequently executed code in a more energy efficient structure than the level ...
In this paper, we investigate a combination of two techniques — instruction coding and instruction re-ordering — for optimizing energy in embedded processor control. We presen...
The instruction cache is a popular target for optimizations of microprocessor-based systems because of the cache’s high impact on system performance and power, and because of th...
Recently, platform FPGAs that integrate sequential processors with a spatial fabric have become prevalent. While these hybrid architectures ease the burden of integrating sequenti...
