Abstract:In embedded systems, tightly coupled memories (TCMs) are usually shared between multiple masters for the purpose of hardware efficiency and software flexibility. On the one hand, memory sharing improves area utilization, but on the other hand, this can lead to a performance degradation due to an increase in access conflicts. To mitigate the associated performance penalty, access interval prediction (AIP) has been proposed. In a similar fashion to branch prediction, AIP exploits program flow regularity to predi… Show more
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.
