Compression-aware dynamic cache reconfiguration for embedded systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optimization techniques are widely used in embedded systems design to improve overall area, performance and energy requirements. Dynamic cache reconfiguration is very effective to reduce energy consumption of cache subsystems which accounts for about half of the total energy consumption in embedded systems. Various studies have shown that code compression can significantly reduce memory requirements, and may improve performance in many scenarios. In this paper, we study the challenges and associated opportunities in integrating dynamic cache reconfiguration with code compression to

متن کاملDynamic Reconfiguration of Two-Level Cache Hierarchy in Real-Time Embedded Systems
System optimization techniques based on efficient dynamic reconfiguration have been widely adopted in recent years. Cache reconfiguration is a promising optimization technique for reducing memory hierarchy energy consumption with little or no impact on overall system performance. While cache reconfiguration is successful in desktop-based and embedded systems, it is not directly applicable in re...
متن کاملMixed-Criticality Scheduling with Dynamic Redistribution of Shared Cache
The design of mixed-criticality systems often involves painful tradeoffs between safety guarantees and performance. However, the use of more detailed architectural models in the design and analysis of scheduling arrangements for mixed-criticality systems can provide greater confidence in the analysis, but also opportunities for better performance. Motivated by this view, we propose an extension...

FPGA uses a promising technology for developing high-performance embedded systems. Reconfiguration systems widely uses Field Programmable Gate Arrays and configured using bitstream often loaded from memory. The Bitstream Compression and Decompression technique reduce the size of the bitstream and also limits the memory constraint. The Compression mechanism improves the access bandwidth for comm...
متن کاملTaPT: Temperature-Aware Dynamic Cache Optimization for Embedded Systems
Embedded systems have stringent design constraints, which has necessitated much prior research focus on optimizing energy consumption and/or performance. Since embedded systems typically have fewer cooling options, rising temperature, and thus temperature optimization, is an emergent concern. Most embedded systems only dissipate heat by passive convection, due to the absence of dedicated therma...
