In this paper we address the problem of on-chip memory selection for computationally
intensive applications, by proposing scratch pad memory as an alternative to cache. Area …

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) …

The number of embedded systems is increasing and a remarkable percentage is designed
as mobile applications. For the latter, energy consumption is a limiting factor because of …

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 …

On-chip interconnects provide a vital facility for highly parallel MultiProcessor Systems-on-
Chip, particularly in data-intensive applications, where the choice of the underlying …

Data Access and Storage Management for Embedded Programmable Processors gives an
overview of the state-of-the-art in system-level data access and storage management for …

Scratchpad memory is a popular choice for on-chip storage in real-time embedded systems.
The allocation of code/data to scratchpad memory is performed at compile time leading to …

The power consumption of integrated circuits is one of the most problematic considerations
affecting the design of high-performance chips and portable devices. The study of power …

Multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) is an integrated circuit containing multiple
instruction-set processors on a single chip that implements most of the functionality of a …

The memory subsystem accounts for a significant portion of the aggregate energy budget of
contemporary embedded systems. Moreover, there exists a large potential for optimizing the …
