![]() ![]() This thesis describes an approach for online calibration of stereo cameras on embeddedsystems. ![]() The ISA being RISC or CISC seems irrelevant. We find that ARM and x86 processors are simply engineering design points optimized for different levels of performance, and there is nothing fundamentally more energy efficient in one ISA class or the other. Our methodical investigation demonstrates the role of ISA in modern microprocessors' performance and energy efficiency. We analyze measurements on the ARM Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 and Intel Atom and Sandybridge i7 microprocessors over workloads spanning mobile, desktop, and server comput-ing. Thus, the question of whether ISA plays an intrinsic role in performance or energy efficiency is becoming important, and we seek to answer this question through a detailed mea-surement based study on real hardware running real applica-tions. Further, the traditionally low-power ARM ISA is enter-ing the high-performance server market, while the traditionally high-performance x86 ISA is entering the mobile low-power de-vice market. Today, energy and power are the primary design con-straints and the computing landscape is significantly different: growth in tablets and smartphones running ARM (a RISC ISA) is surpassing that of desktops and laptops running x86 (a CISC ISA). CISC wars raged in the 1980s when chip area and processor design complexity were the primary constraints and desktops and servers exclusively dominated the computing land-scape. ![]()
