In the past, a priori interconnect prediction, based on Rent’s rule, has been applied mainly for technology evaluation and roadmap applications. These applications do not requir...
Traffic burstiness has a significant impact on network performance. Burstiness can cause buffer overflows and packet drops and is particularly problematic in the context of small-b...
The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the average memory access latency. Improving the cache hit rate can have significant positive impact on the per...
PRAM (Parallel Random Access Model) has been widely regarded a desirable parallel machine model for many years, but it is also believed to be "impossible in reality." As...
Most of current embedded control software (ECSW) development techniques deal only with performance specifications during the early software design phase and delay the modeling and...
