Engineers must consider performance, power consumption, and cost when designing
embedded digital systems; furthermore, memory is a key factor in such systems. Code …

To improve the energy efficiency of computation, accelerators trade off performance and
energy consumption for flexibility. Fixed-function accelerators reach high energy efficiency …

CGRA has been considered to be an attractive architecture for accelerating data-intensive
applications due to the performance and flexibility that it can provide. However, the cache …

An approach to automatic imperative program synthesis is presented which builds upon
Gries'(1981) vision of developing a program and its proof hand in hand. To achieve this …

We studied the architecture of embedded computing systems from the viewpoint of power
consumption in memory systems and used a selective-code-compression (SCC) approach …

We propose a novel instruction compression scheme based on fine-grained programmable
dictionaries. In its core is a compile-time region-based control flow analysis to selectively …

In embedded graphics systems, the graphics processing unit (GPU) also consumes
significant amount of frame buffer memory bandwidth. Frame buffer compression is widely …

Engineers must consider performance, power consumption and cost when they design
digital systems. Embedded systems are more constrained in all these considerations …

The power consumed by memory systems accounts for 45% of the total power consumed by
an embedded system, and the power consumed during a memory access is 10 times higher …

Embedded systems are constrained by the available memory, and code compression
techniques address this issue by reducing the code size of application programs. The main …
