— High level synthesis is one of the next major steps to improve the hw/sw co-design process. The advantages of high nthesis are two-fold. At first the level of abstraction is r...
— In this paper, we present a high-level power model to estimate the power consumption in semi-global and global interconnects. Such interconnects are used for communications bet...
As industry moves towards many-core chips, networks-on-chip (NoCs) are emerging as the scalable fabric for interconnecting the cores. With power now the first-order design constr...
