Improving Energy Efficiency in Multi-processor Soft-Core Systems Using System-level Techniques, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Goudarzi, Maziar (Supervisor)
Abstract
The ever increasing density and performance of FPGAs, has increased the importance and popularity of soft processors. One major research concern in this regard lays in the field of energy efficiency of the system on FPGA. This work is particularly focused on the energy efficiency of multiprocessor structures on FPGA using system level techniques. The growing gap between the speed of processors and memories can partly be compensated through memory hierarchy, i.e. caches. Since memory accesses follow a non-uniform distribution, and vary from one application to another, variable set-associative cache architectures have emerged. In this thesis, two novel cache architecture, primarily aimed at...
