Memory System Energy: Influence of Hardware-Software Optimizations
Memory system usually consumes a signi cant amount of energy in many battery-operated devices. In this paper, we provide a quantitative comparison and evaluation of the interaction of two hardware cache optimization mechanisms (block bu ering and sub-banking) and three widely used compiler optimization techniques (linear loop transformation, loop tiling, and loop unrolling). Our results show th...
متن کاملHardware/software Techniques for Memory Power Optimizations in Embedded Processors
Power has become one of the primary design constraints in modern microprocessors. This is all the more true in the embedded domain where designers are being pushed to create faster processors that operate for long periods of time on a single battery. It is well known that the memory sub-system is responsible for a significant percentage of the overall power dissipation. For example, in the Stro...
متن کاملA Unified Energy Estimation Framework with Integrated Hardware-Software Optimizations
With the emergence of a plethora of embedded and portable applications, energy dissipation has joined throughput, VLSI layout area, and accuracy/precision as a major design constraint. Thus, designers must be concerned with both optimizing and estimating the energy consumption of circuits, architectures, and software. Most of the research in energy optimization and/or estimation has focused on ...

متن کاملMemory Energy Management Using Software and Hardware Directed Power Mode Control
The anticipated explosive growth of pervasive and mobile computing devices that are typically constrained by energy has brought hardware and software techniques for energy conservation into the spotlight. While there have been several studies and proposals for energy conservation for CPUs and peripherals, energy optimization techniques for selective operating mode control of DRAMs have not been...
