Chip multicore processors (CMPs) have emerged as the dominant architecture choice for
modern computing platforms and will most likely continue to be dominant well into the …

Billion transistor systems-on-chip increasingly require dynamic management of their
hardware components and careful coordination of the tasks that they carry out. Diverse real …

We develop a reuse distance/stack distance based analytical modeling framework for
efficient, online prediction of cache performance for a range of cache configurations and …

Low power and/or energy consumption is a requirement not only in embedded systems that
run on batteries or have limited cooling capabilities, but also in desktop and mainframes …

In recent years, efficient dynamic reconfiguration techniques have been widely employed for
system optimization. Dynamic cache reconfiguration is a promising approach for reducing …

In most wireless sensor network (WSN), energy is a limited resource. Indeed, a sensor has a
limited power source (like a battery). When this power source is empty, the sensor stops …

Computing has transformed humankind. General-purpose computers such as desktops and
laptops are used by a larger fraction of the world population. However, in many scenarios …

Due to the large contribution of the memory subsystem to total system power, the memory
subsystem is highly amenable to customization for reduced power/energy and/or improved …

Real-time embedded systems like smartphones tend to comprise an ever increasing number
of processing cores. For scalability and the need for guaranteed performance, the use of a …

Due to the memory hierarchy's large contribution to a microprocessor's total power, cache
tuning is an ideal method for optimizing overall power consumption in embedded systems …
