In this paper, an instruction-level energy model is proposed for the data-path of very long instruction word (VLIW) pipelined processors that can be used to provide accurate power ...
This paper describes FAST, a novel simulation methodology that can produce simulators that (i) are orders of magnitude faster than comparable simulators, (ii) are cycleaccurate, (...

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...
With advances in semiconductor technology, processors are becoming larger and more complex. Future processor designers will face an enormous design space, and must evaluate more a...
