During the last years, the growing application complexity, design, and mask costs have compelled embedded system designers to increasingly consider partially reconfigurable applica...
Silicon compilers are often used in conjunction with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to deliver flexibility, fast prototyping, and accelerated time-to-market. Many of these...
An optimized functional design space exploration method for multimedia applications is proposed. The basis of the method is a way of representing the dependency and the concurrenc...

We present a methodology and algorithms for automatic refinement from a given design specification to an architecture model based on decisions in architecture exploration. An arch...
Horizontally Partitioned Caches (HPCs) are a promising architectural feature to reduce the energy consumption of the memory subsystem. However, the energy reduction obtained using...
