Bitwise operations are commonly used in low-level systems code to access multiple data fields that have been packed into a single word. Program analysis tools that reason about s...
As multiprocessor systems-on-chip become a reality, performance modeling becomes a challenge. To quickly evaluate many architectures, some type of high-level simulation is require...

Abstract—Rapid advances in integrated circuit (IC) development predicted by Moore’s Law lead to increasingly complex, hard to verify IC designs. Design insiders or adversaries ...
The Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) model of computation is popular for modelling the timing behaviour of real-time embedded hardware and software systems and applications. It is an es...
Embedded hard real-time software systems often need fine-grained parallelism and precise control of timing, things typical real-time operating systems do not provide. The Esterel l...
