— The communication sub-system of complex IC systems is increasingly critical for achieving system performance. Given this, it is important that the on-chip communication archite...
Modular design methodologies, which decompose large and complex systems into components that are relatively easy to develop and maintain, have been widely adopted in the software ...
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 ...
: Prediction of the quality attributes of software architectures requires technologies that enable the application of analytic theories to component models. However, available anal...
Software performance based on performance models can be applied at early phases of the software development cycle to characterize the quantitative behavior of software systems. We...
