System-level design techniques promise a way to lessen the productivity gap between fabrication and design. Unfortunately, these techniques have been slow to catch on, in part bec...
Architectural decisions for DSP modules are often analyzed using high level C models. Such high-level explorations allow early examination of the algorithms and the architectural ...
— This paper presents models for estimating the transition activity of signals at the output of adders in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), given only word-level measures o...

As the scale of system integration continues to grow, the on-chip communication becomes the ultimate bottleneck of system performance and the primary determinant of system archite...
Much attention has been directed to different aspects of the design of pipelines [1,2,3,4]. Design of the control logic of non-linear pipelines has however, been considered as a su...
