The lack of proven mechanisms for transferring data between multiple synchronous islands has been a major impediment for applying globally asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) ...
Process variations have become a critical issue in performance verification of high-performance designs. We present a new, statistical timing analysis method that accounts for int...
Despite their superior performance for multimedia applications, vector processors have three limitations that hinder their widespread acceptance. First, the complexity and size of...
As embedded systems continue to face increasingly higher performance requirements, deeply pipelined processor architectures are being employed to meet desired system performance. ...
Memory systems consume a significant portion of power in handheld embedded systems. So far, low-power memory techniques have addressed the power consumption when the system is tu...
