High-performance superscalar processors are designed with the help of complex simulation environment. The simulation infrastructure permits to validate the processor instruction s...
In order to reduce the cost, the time-to-market and to make the most pertinent choices, it becomes essential to allow designers to evaluate, very soon in the design phase, a given...
In this paper we present an approach for quantitative analysis of application-specific dataflow architectures. The approach allows the designer to rate design alternatives in a qu...
