Power optimization becomes more and more important due to the design cost and reliability. Sometimes high power consumption means expensive package cost and low reliability. The first step in optimizing power consumption is determining where power is consumed within a processor. While system-level code tracing and bit transition calculation are...
The AE32000 processor core, developed by Advanced Digital Chips Inc., Korea, is used primarily in the embedded processing environment. The AE32000 simulator models this embedded processor core having high code density. An enhanced simulator was developed to study the performance of the present Instruction Set Architecture after comparison with the...
