This paper discusses aBlox - a specification notation that we defined for automated synthesis of mixed-signal systems. aBlox addresses two important aspects of mixed-signal system...
Systems composed of microprocessors interacting with ASICs are necessarily multiple-process systems, since the controller in the microprocessor is separate from any controllers on...
An effective method for focusing optimization effort on the most important parts of a design is to examine those elements on the critical path. Traditionally, the critical path is...
