A variety of factors is making it increasingly difficult and expensive to design and manufacture traditional Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). This has started a s...
One major challenge in System-on-Chip (SoC) design is the definition and design of interfaces between hardware and software. Traditional ASIC designer and software designer model ...
Multiprocessor SoC systems have led to the increasing use of parallel hardware along with the associated software. These approaches have included coprocessor, homogeneous processo...
In deep submicron technology, IR-drop and clock skew issues become more crucial to the functionality of chip. This paper presents a oorplan-based power and clock distribution meth...
Networking hardware manufacturers face the dual demands of supporting ever increasing bandwidth requirements, while also delivering new features, such as the ability to implement ...
