Ultra-Low Energy Domain-Specific Instruction-Set Processors

By: Francky Catthoor,Praveen Raghavan,Andy Lambrechts,Murali Jayapala,Angeliki Kritikakou,Javed Absar

Modern consumers carry many electronic devices, like a mobile phone, digital camera, GPS, PDA and an MP3 player. The functionality of each of these devices has gone through an important evolution over recent years, with a steep increase in both the number of features as in the quality of the services that they provide. However, providing the required compute power to support (an uncompromised combination of) all this functionality is highly non-trivial. Designing processors that meet the demanding requirements of future mobile devices requires the optimization of the embedded system in general and of the embedded processors in particular, as they should strike the correct balance between flexibility, energy efficiency and performance. In general, a designer will try to minimize the energy consumption (as far as needed) for a given performance, with a sufficient flexibility. However, achieving this goal is already complex when looking at the processor in isolation, but, in reality, the processor is a single component in a more complex system. In order to design such complex system successfully, critical decisions during the design of each individual component should take into account effect on the other parts, with a clear goal to move to a global Pareto optimum in the complete multi-dimensional exploration space. In the complex, global design of battery-operated embedded systems, the focus of Ultra-Low Energy Domain-Specific Instruction-Set Processors is on the energy-aware architecture exploration of domain-specific instruction-set processors and the co-optimization of the datapath architecture, foreground memory, and instruction memory organisation with a link to the required mapping techniques or compiler steps at the early stages of the design. By performing an extensive energy breakdown experiment for a complete embedded platform, both energy and performance bottlenecks have been identified, together with the important relations between the different components. Based on this knowledge, architecture extensions are proposed for all the bottlenecks.

Programming for the Android Dalvik Virtual Machine

By: Javed Absar

This book is an excellent guide for Android programmers on how to tune their programs for the best speed of execution inside the Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM). It helps readers write more efficient code, understand how DVM works and how virtual machines are designed and work in general, while emphasizing key concepts that any android Java programmer must understand. The book explains what happens to Java code from the time it is compiled to Java bytecode to the time that it is executed by the Dalvik virtual machine. It explains in detail the translation of Java programs to bytecode, then to Android specific dexcode and will enable programmers to have a better understanding of how their code executes inside the DVM.
