on
Data Cache Analysis and Optimizations for Embedded Systems
SCOPE
=====
As data sets processed by embedded processors increase in size and
complexity, data caches become crucial for achieving high performance
and low power consumption. Today's general-purpose mid- to high-end
embedded processors are generally equipped with data caches to bridge
the ever-increasing performance gaps between the processor and
off-chip memories. However, data caches are effective only for
applications that exhibit sufficient data locality in their memory
accesses. Applications with excessive cache misses often suffer from
poor performance and energy efficiency. Furthermore, data cache
behavior is inherently unstable, making it difficult to conduct
effective cache behavior analysis and optimisations.
Unlike in the case of general-purpose desktop systems, power
consumption is an essential concern in battery-operated embedded
systems and is also an important design constraint where power supply
capacity is limited. In addition, embedded systems are designed to run
a set of well-defined applications, which can be highly tuned by the
application programmer. In the past few years, a number of cache
analysis techniques, energy-aware compiler cache optimizations and
energy-efficient cache architectures have been developed for
predicting data cache behavior, improving data cache performance and
reducing data cache energy consumption.
This special issue seeks original and unpublished work of theoretical
or practical emphasis in the area of data cache analysis and
optimizations for embedded systems, including but are not limited to:
o Compiler optimizations for improving data cache performance and power consumption
o Code generation considering data caches
o Data layout transformations
o Data compression transformations
o Data cache behavior analysis
o Timing and schedulability analysis by modeling data caches
o Data cache management in hard real-time systems
o Energy-efficient cache architecture
o Reconfigurable cache architecture
o Application case studies
