Keynote Multithreading for Low-Cost, Low-Power Applications

Innovative architectural design may be the best route to create an economical and efficient balance between memory and logic elements in cost and power sensitive embedded solutions. When system prices are measured in a few euros instead of a few hundred, the large, power intensive and costly memory hierarchy solutions typically used in computer and communications applications are impractical. A multithreading extension to the microprocessor core is especially for deeply embedded systems a more effective approach.
