The interlock and forwarding logic is considered the tricky part of a fully-featured pipelined microprocessor and especially debugging these parts delays the hardware design proce...
Due to the unavoidable need for system debugging, performance tuning, and adaptation to new standards, the engineering change (EC) methodology has emerged as one of the crucial co...
Software often needs to be modified for accommodating requirements changes through the software life cycle. To deal with several accidental requirements changes related to softwa...
Advancing technology drives design technology and thus design automation EDA. How to model interconnect, how to handle degradation of signal integrity and increasing power densi...
