Modern architectural trends in instruction-level parallelism (ILP) are to increase the computational power of microprocessors significantly. As a result, the demands on memory ha...
A dynamically reconfigurable real-time software (DRRTS) paradigm can be used effectively in the design of embedded systems to provide many major advantages over conventional softw...
Application Specific Instruction-Set Processors (ASIPs) offer designers the ability for high-speed data and control processing with the added flexibility needed for late design sp...
A shared data structure is lock-free if its operations do not require mutual exclusion. If one process is interrupted in the middle of an operation, other processes will not be pr...
In a realistic design flow, circuit and system optimizations must interact with physical aspects of the design. For example, improvements in timing and power may require replacing ...
