One method commonly used by computer architects to study application memory behavior is trace driven simulation of synthetic address traces. Leveraging synthetic traces reduces the time needed to gather the diverse set of application traces needed for effective testing, and provides programmers with knowledge to tune their programs for better runtime performance. In this paper, we present a tec...

The embedded Nonvolatile Memories (eNVM) technologies offer in-system re-programmability along with low voltage (LV), low power (LP), noise reduction, more reliable, and reduced system cost while maintain high speed, high density system performance over other NVM that including stand-alone Flash memory. The extent of market opportunity is driven by product cost. Manufacturability is the primary...

With reference to an embedded system featuring no support for memory management, we present a model of a protection system based on passwords and keys. At the hardware level, our model takes advantage of a memory protection unit (MPU) interposed between the processor and the complex of the main memory and the input-output devices. The MPU supports both concepts of a protection context and a pro...

Software Distributed Shared Memory (S-DSM) systems support parallel programming by implementing a shared memory on top of distributed system. It frees programmer from communication complexities to concentrate to parallel algorithms. However, there is a drawback: current S-DSM systems waist memory on all processors. Therefore it is hard to be implemented to embedded systems, which have small res...

Many embedded system applications involve storing and querying large datasets. Existing research in this area has focused on adapting and applying conventional database algorithms to embedded devices. Algorithms designed for processing queries on embedded devices must be able to execute given the small amount of available memory and energy constraints. Most embedded devices use flash memory to ...

Embedded systems are typically designed for one or a few target applications, allowing for customization of the system architecture for the desired system goals such as performance, power and cost. The memory subsystem will continue to present significant bottlenecks in the design of future embedded systems-on-chip. Using advance knowledge of the application’s instruction and data behavior, it ...

Impact responses of rectangular composite plates with embedded shape memory alloy (SMA) wires are investigated in the present research. The plate is assumed to be placed in a thermal environment; so that in contrast to the available researches in the field, the shape memory and ferroelasticity effects have to be considered also in addition to the superelasticity. The governing equations are der...

Embedded system has made great advance with the progress of semiconductor technology. System-on-chip (SOC) has provided more powerful functions for embedded systems. Scratchpad memory (SPM), which is softwarecontrolled on-chip memory, is used in embedded systems to reduce the speed gap between the processors and the memory and the power consumption of memory. The architecture of embedded softwa...
