Modern integrated circuits (ICs) are becoming increasingly complex. The complexity makes it difficult to design, manufacture and integrate these high-performance ICs. The advent o...
This tutorial focuses on advanced techniques to cope with the complexity of designing modern digital chips which are complete systems often containing multiple processors, complex...
Performance simulation tools must be validated during the design process as functional models and early hardware are developed, so that designers can be sure of the performance of...
This article presents a control flow analysis methodology based on UML 2.0 sequence diagrams (SD). In contrast to the conventional code-based control flow analysis techniques, thi...
