Instruction-set extensible processors allow an existing processor core to be extended with application-specific custom instructions. In this paper, we explore a novel application...
The central idea behind interface-based design is to describe components by a component interface. In contrast to a component description that describes what a component does, a c...
Traditionally, rectilinear Steiner minimum trees (RSMT) are widely used for routing estimation in design optimizations like floorplanning and physical synthesis. Since it optimize...

The major obstacle to use multicores for real-time applications is that we may not predict and provide any guarantee on real-time properties of embedded software on such platforms...
As the scale of system integration continues to grow, the on-chip communication becomes the ultimate bottleneck of system performance and the primary determinant of system archite...
