Due to the increasing complexity of today's circuits a high degree of automation in the design process is mandatory. The detection of faults and design errors is supported qu...
Higher integration densities, smaller feature lengths, and other technology advances, as well as architectural evolution, have made microprocessor cores exceptionally complex. Cur...
Recently, it has become possible to implement floating-point cores on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to provide acceleration for the myriad applications that require high-p...
This paper describes the design of a low-cost, low-power smart imaging core that can be embedded in cameras. The core integrates an ARM 9 processor, a camera interface and two spe...
The upcoming generation of computer hardware poses several new challenges for database developers and engineers. Software in general and database management systems (DBMSs) in par...
