Micro-architectural simulation of embedded core heterogeneity with gem5 and McPAT
Fernando A. Endo, Damien Couroussé, Henri‐Pierre Charles · 2015
Energy consumption is the major factor limiting performance in embedded systems. In addition, in the next generations of ICs, heat or energy constraints will not allow to power all transistors simultaneously. Heterogeneous multicore systems represent a possible solution to this problem: the diversity of cores provides energy and performance trade-offs.
