Modern embedded compute platforms increasingly contain both microprocessors and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The FPGAs may implement accelerators or other circuits to s...
To improve performance and reduce power, processor designers employ advances that shrink feature sizes, lower voltage levels, reduce noise margins, and increase clock rates. Howev...
