In this paper, we establish a theoretical framework for a new concept of scheduling called soft scheduling. In contrasts to the traditional schedulers referred as hard schedulers,...
In this paper we present a framework integrating speci cation and scheduler generation for real-time systems. In a rst step, the system, which can include arbitrarily designed tas...
Abstract-- In battery driven portable applications, the minimization of energy, average power, peak power, and peak power differential are equally important to improve reliability ...
— The worst-case delay/power of function units has been used in traditional high level synthesis to facilitate design space exploration. As technology scales to nanometer regime,...
An inherent performance gap between custom designs and ASICs is one of the reasons why many designers still start their designs from register transfer level (RTL) description rath...
