During their usage, software systems have to be changed constantly. If such changes are implemented in an incomplete or inconsistent way a loss of architectural quality will occur...
Emerging embedded System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms are increasingly becoming multiprocessor architectures. The advances in the FPGA chip technology make the implementation of such a...
Post-silicon debug is the problem of determining what's wrong when the fabricated chip of a new design behaves incorrectly. This problem now consumes over half of the overall ...
