— High level synthesis is one of the next major steps to improve the hw/sw co-design process. The advantages of high nthesis are two-fold. At first the level of abstraction is r...
Hardware acceleration is crucial in modern embedded system design to meet the explosive demands on performance and cost. Selected computation kernels for acceleration are usually ...
Many computer scientists recognize the adverse relationship between Microsoft Windows, a general purpose operating system, which by design does not support Real Time, a specific ...
Most existing dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) schemes for multiple tasks assume an energy cost function (energy consumption versus execution time) that is independent of the task ch...
Programming efficiency of heterogeneous concurrent systems is limited by the use of lock-based synchronization mechanisms. Transactional memories can greatly improve the programmi...
