Power-related issues have become important considerations in current generation microprocessor design. One of these issues is that of elevated on-chip temperatures. This has an ad...
Due to the inherent nature of heat flow in 3D integrated circuits, stacked dies exhibit a wide range of thermal characteristics. The strong dependence of leakage with temperature...
Data movement operations, such as the C-style memcpy function, are often used to duplicate or communicate data. This type of function typically produces a significant amount of o...
Functional correctness is a vital attribute of any hardware design. Unfortunately, due to extremely complex architectures, widespread components, such as microprocessors, are often...
gn process of embedded systems moves currently towards higher levels of abstraction. As a consequence, a need arises for an early and realistic assessment of system level design d...
