— Hyper-heuristics or “heuristics that coordinate heuristics” are fastly becoming popular for solving combinatorial optimisation problems. These methods do not search directl...
The performance of a system, especially a multiprocessor system, heavily depends upon the efficiency of its bus architecture. This paper presents a methodology to generate a custo...
Performance evaluation of contemporary processors is becoming increasingly difficult due to the lack of proper frameworks. Traditionally, cycle-accurate simulators have been exte...
In previous work we have developed and prototyped a silicon compiler which translates a functional language (SAFL) into hardware. Here we present a SAFL-level program transformati...
As the size and complexity of VLSI circuits increase, the need for faster floorplanning algorithms also grows. In this work we introduce Traffic, a new method for creating wire- a...
