As the VLSI technology advances continuously, ASIC can easily achieve the required performance and most of them are actually over-designed. Thus, architecture shrinking is inevita...
With increasing adoption of Electronic System Level (ESL) tools, effective design and validation time has reduced to a considerable extent. Cosimulation is found to be a principal...
In this paper we analyse some methodological concerns that have to be faced in a design flow which contains automatic synthesis phases from high-level, system descriptions. In par...
Abstract— Microcode enables programmability of (micro) architectural structures to enhance functionality and to apply patches to an existing design. As more features get added to...
— Identifying performance bottlenecks is important for microarchitects and application developers to produce high performance microprocessor designs and application software. Man...
