-Many signal processing systems, particularly in the multimedia and telecom domains, are synthesized to execute data-dominated applications. In such systems, data transfer and storage have a significant impact on both the system performance and the major cost parameters -power consumption and chip area. This paper presents a software tool for system-level exploration, where several memory management tasks are addressed in a common theoretical framework. The tool can compute the minimum storage requirement of a given application and can produce the graph of storage variation during the code execution; it offers memory allocation and signal assignment solutions both for flat and hierarchical organizations and optimizes the dynamic energy consumption in the memory subsystem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
