The key to increasing performance without a commensurate increase in power consumption in modern processors lies in increasing both parallelism and core specialization. Core speci...
This paper proposes and evaluates single-ISA heterogeneous multi-core architectures as a mechanism to reduce processor power dissipation. Our design incorporates heterogeneous cor...

While general-purpose processors have only recently employed chip multiprocessor (CMP) architectures, network processors (NPs) have used heterogeneous multi-core architectures sin...
Previous studies have demonstrated the advantages of single-ISA heterogeneous multi-core architectures for power and performance. However, none of those studies examined how to de...
—High-end mobile phones support multiple radio standards and a rich suite of applications, which involves advanced radio, audio, video, and graphics processing. The overall digit...
