An Application Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP) exploits special characteristics of the given application(s) to meet the desired performance, cost and power requirements....
We present and evaluate a novel switching mechanism called layered switching. Conceptually, the layered switching implements wormhole on top of virtual cut-through switching. To s...
—Wormhole switching with fixed priority preemption has been proposed as a possible solution for real-time on-chip communication. However, none of current priority assignment pol...
A central problem in built-in self test (BIST) is how to efficiently generate a small set of test vectors that detect all targeted faults. We propose a novel solution that uses l...
As the level of chip integration continues to advance at a fast pace, the desire for efficient interconnects-whether on-chip or off-chip--is rapidly increasing. Traditional interc...
