Abstract
The present invention proposes effective solutions for the design of Virtual Memory Management for applications with dynamic data types in an embedded (HW or SW) processor context. A structured search space for VMM mechanisms with orthogonal decision trees is presented. Based on said representation a systematic power exploration methodology is proposed that takes into account characteristics of the applications to prune the search space and guide the choices of a VMM for data dominated applications. A parameterizable model, called Flexible Pools, is proposed. This model limits the exploration of the Virtual Memory organization considerably without limiting the optimization possibilities.
