Efficient evaluation of design choices, in terms of selection of algorithms to be implemented as hardware or software, and finding an optimal hw/sw design mix is an important re...
Evidence suggests that as software ages the original realizations of design patterns remain in place, and participants in design pattern realizations accumulate “grime” – no...
: The technology of virtual machines is widely applied in many fields, such as code transplanting, cross-platform computing, and hardware simulation. The main purpose is to simulat...
The explicit documentation of the rationale of design decisions is a practice generally encouraged but rarely implemented in industry because of a variety of inhibitors. Known met...
Single chip heterogeneous multiprocessors are arising to meet the computational demands of portable and handheld devices. These computing systems are not fully custom designs trad...
