HW/SW communication mode makes significant impact on HW/SW communication efficiency. Based on the characteristics of the hardware functions, this paper presents an adaptive HW/SW ...
In this paper, we present DeFer--a fast, high-quality, scalable, and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a nonslicing floorplan by compacting a sli...
Maritime terminals of pure transhipment are emerging logistic realities in long-distance containerized trade. Here, complex activities of resource allocation and scheduling should...
