Modern system-on-chip (SoC) design shows a clear trend toward integration of multiple
processor cores on a single chip. Designing a multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSOC) …

Many applications, such as medical imaging, generate intensive data traffic between the
FPGA and off-chip memory. Significant improvements in the execution time can be achieved …

We present a survey of the state-of-the-art techniques used in performing data and memory-
related optimizations in embedded systems. The optimizations are targeted directly or …

As memory accesses become slower with respect to the processor and consume more
power with increasing memory size, the focus of memory performance and power …

Memory can be efficiently utilized if the dynamic memory demands of applications can be
determined and analyzed at run-time. The page miss ratio curve (MRC), ie page miss rate …

Optimizations aimed at improving the efficiency of on-chip memories are extremely
important. We propose a compiler-controlled dynamic on-chip scratch-pad memory (SPM) …
