System-level computer architecture simulations create large volumes of simulation data to explore alternative architectural solutions. Interpreting and drawing conclusions from thi...
Hardware designers are increasingly turning to Single Chip Multi-Processors to achieve power and throughput goals. To further increase performance for a specific application the c...

This paper presents novel uses of functional interface specifications for verifying RTL designs. We demonstrate how a simulation environment, a correctness checker, and a function...
System-level design methodologies for embedded HW/SW systems face several challenges: In order to be susceptible to systematic formal analysis based on state-space exploration, a ...
process: Designers must define higher abstraction levels that allow system modeling. They must use description languages that handle both hardware and software components to descri...
