Abstract

optimizations aimed at improving the efficiency of on-chip memories are extremely important. We propose a compiler-controlled dynamic on-chip scratch-pad memory (SPM) management framework that uses both loop and data transformations. Experimental results obtained using a generic cost model indicate significant reductions in data transfer activity between SPM and off-chip memory.
