As embedded systems continue to face increasingly higher performance requirements, deeply pipelined processor architectures are being employed to meet desired system performance. ...
Cycles per Instruction (CPI) stacks break down processor execution time into a baseline CPI plus a number of miss event CPI components. CPI breakdowns can be very helpful in gaini...
process: Designers must define higher abstraction levels that allow system modeling. They must use description languages that handle both hardware and software components to descri...
Code-patterns are statically recurring structure specific to a programming language. It can be parallel to aid in designing software systems for solving particular problems. Contr...
With device counts on modern-day ASICs crossing the 10 million mark, careful planning of an ASIC design project is necessary to meet time deadlines. Two problems arise in this con...
