We present an analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of function and object based models in system specification. Functional models should be used for functional design space expl...
Retargetable C compilers are key tools for efficient architecture exploration for embedded processors. In this paper we describe a novel approach to retargetable compilation based...
Booth encoding is believed to yield faster multiplier designs with higher energy consumption. 16x16-bit Booth and NonBooth multipliers are analyzed in energy and delay space under...
Many metaheuristics have difficulty exploring their search space comprehensively. Exploration time and efficiency are highly dependent on the size and the ruggedness of the search...
We present a case study on the design of a heterogeneous architecture for MPEG-2 video decoding. The primary objective of the case study is the validation of the SPADE methodology...
