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 …

With the advent of mobile and handheld devices, power consumption in embedded systems
has become a key design issue. Recently, it has been shown that cache requirements of the …

Estimation of the hit rate curve for an application is the first step in application specific cache
tuning. Several techniques have been proposed to meet this objective however most of …

Due to the cache's significant impact on an embedded system, much research has focused
on cache optimizations, such as reduced energy consumption or improved performance …

Caches often consume up to 50% or more of a microprocessors system power and thus,
reducing cache power/energy is an important aspect of system optimization. Because the …

RTOS components have a direct impact on the instruction cache performance-an aspect that
has been reported as a bottleneck in several studies. Therefore, there exists a need for …
