In this paper we analyse some methodological concerns that have to be faced in a design flow which contains automatic synthesis phases from high-level, system descriptions. In par...
transistors the design of the SoC needs to be moved to a higher level of abstraction. We need to think in processors and interconnects rather than gates and wires. We discuss the n...
Due to difficulties in distributing a single global clock signal over increasingly large chip areas, a globally asynchronous, locally synchronous design is considered a promising ...
To handle today’s complexity, modern circuits and systems be specified at a high level of abstraction. Recently, SystemC has been proposed as a language that allows a fast on o...
In this paper, we investigate the use of instruction set simulators (ISS) based on binary translation to accelerate full timed multiprocessor system simulation at transaction leve...
