Given the rapid rise of model-driven software development methodologies, it is highly desirable that tools be developed to support the use of design patterns in this context. This...

As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...
We present SPOT, a scalable power observation tool that enables in situ measurement of nodal power and energy over a dynamic range exceeding four decades or a temporal resolution ...

In this paper we present NoCEE, a fast and accurate method for extracting energy models for packet-switched Network on Chip (NoC) routers. Linear regression is used to model the r...
As the "system-on-a-chip" concept is rapidly becoming a reality, time-to-market and product complexity push the reuse of complex macromodules. Circuits combining a varie...
