Reducing a program's instruction count can improve cache behavior and bandwidth
utilization, lower power consumption, and increase overall performance. Nonetheless, code …

We propose a new class of methods for VLIW code compression using variable-sized
branch blocks with self-generating tables. Code compression traditionally works on fixed …

This paper presents a new code compression method where we use different dictionaries,
all of them are based in traditional Huffman algorithm. Our method reduces code size by up …

Computer architects aim to make embedded systems more powerful and space efficient.
Code compression is traditionally used to reduce the code size by compressing the …

Embedded systems are ubiquitous and indispensable from our daily life today. In contrast to
traditional programs that are given large size of memory, embedded applications-such as …

RISC processors can be used to face the ever increasing demand for performance required
by embedded systems. Nevertheless, this solution comes with the cost of poor code density …

Code compression, initially conceived as an effective technique to reduce code size in
embedded systems, today also brings advantages in terms of performance and energy …

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 …

Several factors are considered in the development of embedded systems, among which may
be mentioned: physical size, weight, mobility, power consumption, memory, safety, all …

The Memory Wall continues to be a problem with modern systems design. While the steady
increase in processor speeds has abated somewhat, Moore's Law continues to provide …
