Code placement techniques have traditionally improved instruction fetch bandwidth by increasing instruction locality and decreasing the number of taken branches. However, traditio...
— Yield improvement through exploiting fault-free sections of defective chips is a well-known technique [1][2]. The idea is to partition the circuitry of a chip in a way that fau...
Code compression is important in embedded systems design since it reduces the code size (memory requirement) and thereby improves overall area, power and performance. Existing res...
