Those days have long gone. There is currently a tremendous growth in the development of systems that involve tens or hundreds of complex processors and hardware accelerators in closely coupled or ...

As silicon technology migrates from 0.18 micron to 0.13 micron and below, it has become possible to integrate a large number of processors and peripheral devices and more than 1 Mbyte of SRAM on a ...

Multi-processor architectures are becoming prevalent in today’s embedded systems to keep up with growing computational requirements, throughput and integrated system features. As an example, high-end ...

Potentially substantial performance gains from the use of multithreading and multiprocessing architectures have captured the attention of designers of consumer devices and other electronic products.

Significant portion of cache energy in a highly associative cache is consumed during tag comparison. In this paper tag comparison is carried out by predicting both cache hit and cache miss using ...
