New portable consumer embedded devices must execute multimedia applications (e.g., 3D games, video players and signal processing software, etc.) that demand extensive memory acces...
The caching behavior of multimedia applications has been described as having high instruction reference locality within small loops, very large working sets, and poor data cache p...
Most hardware description frameworks, whether schematic or textual, use cooperating finite state machines (CFSM) as the underlying abstraction. In the CFSM framework, a designer ...
We describe the use of artificial life (genetic) algorithms to generate auditory behaviors within 3D graphical environments. Small, high-quality soundfiles are algorithmically rec...
In this paper, we demonstrate a high-level approach to modeling and analyzing complex safety-critical systems through a case study in the area of air traffic management. In partic...
