We develop a hierarchical approach to planning for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) in which a policy is represented as a hierarchical finite-state control...
A parallel implementation of a genetic algorithm used to evolve simple analog VLSI circuits is described. The parallel computer system consisted of twenty distributed SPARC workst...
Clock networks contribute a significant fraction of dynamic power and can be a limiting factor in high-performance CPUs and SoCs. The need for multi-objective optimization over a l...
We consider a resource synthesis technique for realtime systems where the energy budget is limited and the performance of the system depends on how resources and energy are used. ...
With several commercial tools becoming available, the high-level synthesis of applicationspeci c integrated circuits is nding wide spread acceptance in VLSI industry today. Existi...
