Multicore is now the dominant processor trend, and the number of cores is rapidly increasing. The paradigm shift to multicore forces the redesign of the software stack, which incl...
Optimizations aimed at reducing the impact of memory operations on execution speed have long concentrated on improving cache performance. These efforts achieve a reasonable level...
Historically, processor accesses to memory-mapped device registers have been marked uncachable to insure their visibility to the device. The ubiquity of snooping cache coherence, ...

Performance evaluation of embedded software is essential in an early development phase so as to ensure that the software will run on the embedded device's limited computing r...
Different uses of memory protection schemes have different needs in terms of granularity. For example, heap security can benefit from chunk separation (by using protected "pa...
