In today’s flows, there is still a gap between system level description and hardware implementation, especially for analog/RF building blocks. SystemC-AMS or co-simulations have...
This paper quantifies the performance of typical functional unit interface designs in single-chip systems. We introduce a specific equation to guide the design of optimal module i...
In this paper, we study the problem of performance-driven multi-level circuit clustering with application to hierarchical FPGA designs. We first show that the performance-driven m...
With increasing chip densities, future microprocessor designs have the opportunity to integrate many of the traditional systemlevel modules onto the same chip as the processor. So...
Due to increasing design complexity new methodologies for system modeling have been established in VLSI CAD. The SystemC methodology gains a significant reduction of design cycle...
