The focus is on black-box optimization of a function f : RN R given as a black box, i. e. an oracle for f-evaluations. This is commonly called direct search, and in fact, most meth...
The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
Embedded systems require control of many concurrent real-time activities, leading to system designs which feature multiple hardware peripherals with each providing a specific, ded...
—A shared bus is a suitable structure for minimizing the interconnections costs in system synthesis. It has also been shown that the word-length of Functional Units has a great i...
Next generation industrial embedded platforms require the development of complex power and thermal management solutions. Indeed, an increasingly fine and intrusive thermal contro...
