Abstract
This is a comparative study of cache energy dissipations in Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) and the classical superscalar microprocessors. While being architecturally different, the two types are analyzed in this work on the basis of similar underlying silicon fabrication platforms. The outcomes of the study reveal how energy is exploited in the cache system of the former which makes it more appealing to low-power applications with respect to the latter.
