Adaptation in embedded processing is key in order to address efficiency. The concept of extensible embedded processors works well if a few a-priori known hot spots exist. However,...
Abstract-Our strategy for automatic generation of functional vectors is based on exercising selected paths in the given hardware description language (HDL) model. The HDL model des...
Profiling an application executing on a microprocessor is part of the solution to numerous software and hardware optimization and design automation problems. Most current profilin...
Current technology trends have led to the growing impact of both inter-die and intra-die process variations on circuit performance. While it is imperative to model parameter varia...
This article outlines several projects aimed at generating electrical energy by passively tapping a variety of human body sources and activities. After summarizing different energ...
