—WPAN technologies such as IEEE 802.15.4 have been introduced to allow for energy-efficient communication of control and sensor data. In certain application areas, it is benefici...
NoCs present a possible communication infrastructure solution to deal with increased design complexity and shrinking time-to-market. The communication infrastructure is a signific...
The run-time performance of VLIW (very long instruction word) microprocessors depends heavily on the effectiveness of its associated optimizing compiler. Typical VLIW compiler pha...
Unpredictability in COTS-based systems often manifests as occasional instances of uncontrollably-high response times. A particular category of COTS systems, fault-tolerant (FT) mid...
Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...
