As applications tend to grow more complex and use more memory, the demand for cache space increases. Thus embedded processors are inclined to use larger caches. Predicting a miss i...
There is a growing need for accurate power models at the system level. Memory structures such as caches, Branch Target Buffers (BTBs), and register files occupy significant area i...

Prior work on TLB power optimization considered circuit and architectural techniques. A recent software-based technique for data TLBs has considered the possibility of storing the...
In System on Chip (SoC) design, growing design complexity has esigners to start designs at higher abstraction levels. This paper proposes an SoC design methodology that makes full...
The growing use of digital signal processors (DSPs) in embedded systems necessitates the use of optimizing compilers supporting special hardware features. Due to the irregular arc...
