Best projects
During the last month of the class, students used an analysis tool to study the data reuse behavior of programs they chose. All projects were presented in the last class and a vote was taken by the audience. The following two projects tied for the best project.- Memory Behavior of the UAV Application, by Grigorios Magklis.
- Reuse Distance Analysis of the Mediabench Suite, by Athanasios E. Papathanasiou
