High Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers: Second International Conference, HiPEAC 2007, Ghent, Belgium, January 28-30, 2007. Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 4367)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on High Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers, HiPEAC 2007, held in Ghent, Belgium, in January 2007. The 19 revised full papers presented together with one invited keynote paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on secure and low-power embedded memory systems, architecture/compiler optimizations for efficient embedded processing, adaptive microarchitectures, architecture evaluation techniques, generation of efficient embedded applications, as well as optimizations and architectural tradeoffs for embedded systems.
