Operand gating is a technique for improving processor energy efficiency by gating off sections of the data path that are unneeded by short-precision (narrow) operands. A method fo...
Currently, hardware intellectual property (IP) is delivered at vels of abstraction: hard, firm, and soft. In order to further enhance performance, efficiency, and flexibility of I...
Current modeling techniques are not well equipped to design dynamic software architectures. In this work we present the basic concepts for a dynamic architecture modeling using net...
