Portable embedded systems are being driven by consumer demands to be thermally efficient, perform faster, and have longer battery life. To design such a system, various hardware un...
—Since many embedded systems execute a predefined set of programs, tuning system components to application programs and data is the approach chosen by many design techniques to o...
- Chip floorplan in a reticle for Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) plays a key role in deciding chip fabrication cost. In this paper1 , we propose a methodology to explore reticle floopla...
The increasing use of microprocessor cores in embedded systems as well as mobile and portable devices creates an opportunity for customizing the cache subsystem for improved perfo...
Achieving design closure is one of the biggest headaches for modern VLSI designers. This problem is exacerbated by high-level design automation tools that ignore increasingly impo...
