In embedded systems, performance and power are important inter-related issues that cannot be decoupled. Expensive and extensive simulations in a processor design space are usually...
Application-Specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIP) can improve execution speed by using custom instructions. Several ASIP design automation flows have been proposed recently. ...
We present an analytical method to evaluate embedded network packet processor architectures, and to explore their design space. Our approach is in contrast to those based on simul...
A key aspect of the synthesis of embedded systems is the automatic integration of system components. This entails the derivation of both the hardware and software interfaces that ...
A key advantage of soft processors (processors built on an FPGA programmable fabric) over hard processors is that they can be customized to suit an application program's spec...
