— As technology scales, the delay uncertainty caused by process variations has become increasingly pronounced in deep submicron designs. In the presence of process variations, wo...
In this paper we propose a hardware real time operating system (HW-RTOS) solution that makes use of a dedicated hardware in order to replace the standard support provided by the P...

— We introduce a transformation, named rephasing, that manipulates the timing parameters in control-data-flow graphs (CDFG’s) during the high-level synthesis of data-pathinten...
