We present an application-driven customization methodology for energy-efficient inter-core communication in embedded multiprocessors. The methodology leverages configurable cach...
Branch prediction mechanisms are becoming commonplace within current generation processors. Dynamic branch predictors, albeit able to predict branches quite accurately in average,...
We propose an organization for the on-chip memory system of a chip multiprocessor, in which 16 processors share a 16MB pool of 256 L2 cache banks. The L2 cache is organized as a n...
