ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems

This article presents a technique for the efficient compiler management of software-exposed heterogeneous memory. In many lower-end embedded chips, often used in microcontrollers and DSP processors, heterogeneous memory units such as scratch-pad SRAM, ...

Java has been widely adopted as one of the software platforms for the seamless integration of diverse computing devices. Over the last year, there has been great momentum in adopting Java technology in devices such as cellphones, PDAs, and pagers where ...

This article presents the design of a simple hardware-controlled, high performance cache system. The design supports fast access time, optimal utilization of temporal and spatial localities adaptive to given applications, and a simple dynamic fetching ...

By analyzing the behavior of a set of benchmarks, we demonstrate that a small number of distinct values tend to occur very frequently in memory. On an average, only eight of these frequent values were found to occupy 48% of memory locations for the ...

We present a new exploration and optimization method at the system level to select customized implementations for dynamic data sets, as encountered in telecom network, database, and multimedia applications. Our method fits in the context of embedded ...
