Self-timed systems often have to communicate with their environment through a clocked interface. For example, off-chip memory may require clocking and this can reduce the benefit...

Customizing architectures for particular applications is a promising approach to yield highly energy-efficient designs for embedded systems. This work explores the benefits of arc...
Caches may consume half of a microprocessor’s total power and cache misses incur accessing off-chip memory, which is both time consuming and energy costly. Therefore, minimizing...
New multimedia embedded applications are increasingly dynamic, and rely on Dynamically-allocated Data Types (DDTs) to store their data. The optimization of DDTs for each target em...
Many embedded systems are implemented with a set of alternative function variants to adapt the system to different applications or environments. This paper proposes a novel approa...
