Abstract

Multi-core architecture has become hot issue recently both for performance and power consideration. Memory system is the bottleneck under this circumstance. A multi-core architecture using simple cores based on transport triggered architecture is proposed. This architecture has a uniform programming view. The memory system design exploration and optimization is done and a hierarchical memory system is designed. A balanced memory bandwidth is provided to the multi-core architecture.
