Ever-growing complexity is forcing design to move above RTL. For example, golden functional models are being written as clearly as possible in software and not optimized or intend...
The evolution towards IP-aware access networks creates the possibility (and, indeed, the desirability) of additional network services, like firewalling or NAT, integrated into th...

Requirements engineering (RE) is concerned with the identification of the goals to be achieved by the envisioned system, the operationalization of such goals into services and con...
The memory subsystem of a complex multiprocessor systemson-chip (MPSoC) is an important contributor to the chip power consumption. The selection of memory architecture, as well as...
The issue logic of a superscalar processor dissipates a large amount of static and dynamic power. Furthermore, its power density makes it a hot-spot requiring expensive cooling sy...
