In the embedded domain, memory usage and energy consumption are critical constraints. Embedded processors such as the ARM and MIPS provide a 16-bit instruction set (called Thumb in the case of the ARM cpu family) in addition to the 32-bit instruction set to address these concerns. Using 16-bit instructions one can achieve code size reduction and I-cache energy savings at the cost of performance...

analogical transfer, the present study systematically compared the effect of ing that animated source instruction facilitated spontaneous analogical inference. Analogical reasoning is a cognitive underpinning of the ability to notice and draw providing practical suggestions for classroom instruction. We first discuss. Learning, instruction, problem solving, transfer, analogical reasoning, instr...
