Modern mobile devices are equipped with multicore-based processors, which introduce new
challenges on computation offloading. With the big. LITTLE architecture, instead of only …

Human pose estimation is a key technique for many vision-based mobile applications. Yet
existing multi-person pose-estimation methods fail to achieve a satisfactory user experience …

Process technology-driven performance and energy efficiency improvements have slowed
down as we approach physical design limits. General-purpose manycore architectures …

In this brief, a hybrid-grained reconfigurable architecture (HReA) is introduced to process 13-
Dwarfs. The proposed dynamically reconfigurable fabric consists of four 4× 4 multi-functional …

Much progress has recently been made in global optimization, with particular attention
devoted to robust nature-inspired stochastic methods for difficult, high-dimensional …

Thread-level parallelism (TLP) is being widely exploited in embedded and general-purpose
multicore processors (GPPs) to increase performance. However, parallelizing an application …

This paper presents the first comprehensive study of the performance, power and energy
consumption of the Applied-Micro X-Gene, the first commercially available 64-bit ARMv8 …

ARM big. LITTLE architectures are spreading more and more in the mobile world thanks to
their power-saving capabilities due to the use of two ISA-compatible islands, one focusing …

Eviction-based cache side-channel attacks take advantage of inclusive cache hierarchies
and shared cache hardware. Processors with the template ARM big. LITTLE architecture do …

The big. LITTLE architecture has been extensively integrated into smart mobile devices for
better performance and higher energy efficiency. However, the desired energy savings …
