Transactions on Computers Media Center

Our volunteers share with the wider community their views and experiences on a variety of topics. The volunteers can range from associate editors to authors, reviewers or members from the research community at large. The interviews are intended to cover a wide spectrum of topics that are relevant to our community. These topics can be in the form of "shared experiences" and "lessons learned" or highlighting a new technological or theoretical breakthrough. We hope that members of the community will actively participate in making this new feature a great success. For information on submitting multimedia content, please click here.

Minimizing Energy Consumption of Embedded Systems via Optimal Code Layout

by Chen-Wei Huang and Shiao-Li Tsao

 

As the gap between CPU and memory is widening every year, it is getting harder for CPU to obtain a timely response from main memory. At the same time, accessing energy for registers in CPU to that of SDRAM differs by orders of magnitudes. So a badly designed memory system will drag down the system performance, and also restrain the battery life for portable devices. This situation will be more challenging in the multi-core era, where memory systems have to supply more data at a faster pace and in more energy-efficient manner.

What is the OnlinePlus publication model?

It is our new publication model that is a hybrid of online only and print, giving subscribers the best of both worlds—online access plus a printed book of article abstracts and a searchable interactive disk that allows readers to access content anywhere without an internet connection for less than a traditional print subscription.
