A variety of factors is making it increasingly difficult and expensive to design and manufacture traditional Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). This has started a s...
The Imagine Stream Processor is a single-chip programmable media processor with 48 parallel ALUs. At 400 MHz, this translates to a peak arithmetic rate of 16 GFLOPS on single-prec...

This paper proposes a low-energy instruction-cache architecture, called history-based tag-comparison (HBTC) cache. The HBTC cache attempts to re-use tag-comparison results for avo...
With technology advancing toward deep submicron, leakage energy is of increasing concern, especially for large onchip array structures such as caches and branch predictors. Recent...

Our goal is to identify the key architectural and design issues related to Sensor Networks (SNs), evaluate the proposed solutions, and to outline the most challenging research dir...
Dynamically-loaded tagless loop caching reduces instruction fetch power for embedded software with small loops, but only supports simple loops without taken branches. Preloaded ta...
A method of managing the power consumption of an embedded, single-issue processor by controlling its pipeline depth is proposed. The execution time will be increased but, if the m...
— As the cost of embedded sensors and actuators drops, new applications will arise that exploit high density networks of small devices capable of a variety of sensing tasks. Alth...
