We present a new VLIW core as a successor to the TriMedia TM1000. The processor is targeted for embedded use in media-processing devices like DTVs and set-top boxes. Intended as a...

In order to meet the requirements concerning both performance and energy consumption in embedded systems, new memory architectures are being introduced. Beside the well-known use o...
Continued growth in chip capacity has led to new methodologies stressing reuse, not only of pre-designed processing components, but even of entire pre-designed architectures. To b...
We describe a technique for verifying that a hardware design correctly implements a protocol-level formal specification. Simulation steps are translated to protocol state transiti...
The working-zone encoding (WZE) method employing locality of memory reference was previously proposed to reduce address bus switching activity. This paper presents an encoding met...
