Methodology for Memory Analysis and Optimization in Embedded Systems

This paper describes a methodology for memory analysis and optimization of embedded system design with the goal of reducing memory usage. It acts as a guide to optimize the memory module of the embedded systems in an efficiently way, by which the design-time optimization can be achieve. Two typical embedded signal-processing applications are implemented using the proposed method, gaining 67 % and 31 % reduction of system memory requirement, respectively. 1
