Performance non-determinism in computer systems complicates evaluation, use, and even development of these systems. In performance evaluation via benchmarking and simulation, nond...
Processor Idle Cycle Aggregation (PICA) is a promising approach for low power execution of processors, in which small memory stalls are aggregated to create a large one, and the p...
1 Step-wise refinement (SWR) asserts that complex programs can be derived from simple programs by progressively adding features. The length of a program specification is the number...
Compiler technology is becoming a key component in the design of embedded systems, mostly due to increasing participation of software in the design process. Meeting system-level ob...
Significant advances have been made in the field of construction process modeling. However, no convenient graphical support tools exist that can depict the modeled operations in 3...
