We developed a new hierarchical modular approach for synthesis of area-minimal core-based data-intensive systems. The optimization approach employs a novel global least-constraini...
Modern Application Specific Instruction Set Processors (ASIPs) have customizable caches, where the size, associativity and line size can all be customized to suit a particular ap...
