Each semiconductor technology generation brings us closer to the imminent processor architecture heat wall, with all its associated adverse effects on system performance and reliab...
Today's FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are widely used, but not to their full potential. In Virtex series FPGAs from Xilinx a special feature, the dynamic and partial...
We address the design of complex monolithic systems, where processing cores generate and consume a varying and large amount of data, thus bringing the communication links to the e...
Manufacturing test of chips made of multiple IP cores requires different techniques if ATE is used. As scan chains are commonly used as access paths to the DUT, ATE architectures ...
Multicore processors promise higher throughput at lower power consumption than single core processors. Thus in the near future they will be widely used in hard real-time systems as...
