Introduction to the special issue

Introduction to the special issue Introduction to the Special Issue This special issue of TECS is dedicated to a digest of the best papers for the ACM Conference on Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems 2003 (LCTES ™03) with sponsorship from SIGPLAN and, since 2004, also from SIGBED. The conference has matured to one of the top high-quality academic venues on embedded systems with a competitive acceptance rate of 23% in 2003. The conference attracts papers on topics ranging from hardware enhancements of embedded architectures over compilation, system development, and analysis tools to modeling of embedded systems. The four papers presented in this issue are extensions of the authors ™ conference contributions. The rst paper, Dynamic Coalescing for 16-bit Instructions by Arvind Krishnaswamy and Rajiv Gupta, proposes a minor architectural extension to the ARM processor architecture to allow the native 32-bit ARM instructions to be interspersed with the smaller 16-bit Thumb instructions supported by the processor. The authors use compilation techniques to fold two Thumb instruction into a single equivalent ARM instruction, thereby reducing the number of cycles required for execution. They demonstrate that their technique can result both in performance improvements and potentially reduced energy consumption.

Abstract

Introduction to the Special Issue This special issue of TECS is dedicated to a digest of the best papers for the ACM Conference on Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems 2003 (LCTES ™03) with sponsorship from SIGPLAN and, since 2004, also from SIGBED. The conference has matured to one of the top high-quality academic venues on embedded systems with a competitive acceptance rate of 23% in 2003. The conference attracts papers on topics ranging from hardware enhancements of embedded architectures over compilation, system development, and analysis tools to modeling of embedded systems. The four papers presented in this issue are extensions of the authors ™ conference contributions. The rst paper, Dynamic Coalescing for 16-bit Instructions by Arvind Krishnaswamy and Rajiv Gupta, proposes a minor architectural extension to the ARM processor architecture to allow the native 32-bit ARM instructions to be interspersed with the smaller 16-bit Thumb instructions supported by the processor.
