— In this work we show that a metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS), can be effectively used in order to improve the performance of the hardware–friendly versio...
Algorithmic skeletons can be used to write architecture independent programs, shielding application developers from the details of a parallel implementation. In this paper, we pre...
This paper describes the authors experience with teaching VHDL (and more recently, Verilog) to undergraduate and graduate students at WPI and to engineers through various short co...
The continued market demand for GHz processors and high-capacity communication systems results in an increasing number of low-cost high volume ICs with multi-GHz clocks and/or mul...
Abstract--We present a processor-programmable built-in selftest (BIST) scheme suitable for embedded memory testing in the system-on-a-chip (SOC) environment. The proposed BIST circ...
