The Ability to Estimate Power Consumption during Early-stage Definition and Trade-off Studies Is a Key New Methodology Enhancement. Opportunities for Saving Power Can Be Exposed Via
Power dissipation limits have emerged as a major constraint in the design of microprocessors. At the low end of the performance spectrum, namely in the world of handheld and portable devices or systems, power has always dominated over performance (execution time) as the primary design issue. Battery life and system cost constraints drive the design team to consider power over performance in suc...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of 64-Bit Execute Stage for VLIW Processor Architecture on FPGA
FPGA implementation of 64-bit execute unit for VLIW processor, and improve power representation have been done in this paper. VHDL is used to modelled this architecture. VLIW stands for Very Long Instruction Word. This Processor Architecture is based on parallel processing in which more than one instruction is executed in parallel. This architecture is used to increase the instruction throughpu...
متن کاملUltra-Low-Energy DSP Processor Design for Many-Core Parallel Applications
Background and Objectives: Digital signal processors are widely used in energy constrained applications in which battery lifetime is a critical concern. Accordingly, designing ultra-low-energy processors is a major concern. In this work and in the first step, we propose a sub-threshold DSP processor. Methods: As our baseline architecture, we use a modified version of an existing ultra-low-power...
