The performance tradeoff between hardware complexity and clock speed is studied. First, a generic superscalar pipeline is defined. Then the specific areas of register renaming, ...

Testing embedded cores is a challenge because access to core I/Os is limited. The user-defined logic (ZJDL) surrounding the core may restrict the set of test vectors that can be a...
The paper presents QCAMP, a cube-based algorithm for minimization of single Boolean functions. The algorithm does not generate all the prime cubes, nor does it require the Off-set...
- This paper addresses the problem of true delay estimation during high level design. The existing delay estimation techniques either estimate the topological delay of the circuit ...
Concurrent and incremental collectors require barriers to ensure correct synchronisation between mutator and collector. The overheads imposed by particular barriers on particular ...
