Heterogeneous embedded systems, where configurable or application specific hardware devices (FPGAs and ASICs) are used alongside traditional processors, are becoming more and more...
This paper proposes a novel Deadlock Avoidance Algorithm (DAA) and its hardware implementation, the Deadlock Avoidance Unit (DAU), as an Intellectual Property (IP) core that provi...
– A low-power graphics LSI is designed and implemented for mobile multimedia applications. The LSI contains a 32bit RISC processor with enhanced MAC, a 3D rendering engine, progr...
The performance requirements for contemporary microprocessors are increasing as rapidly as their number of applications grows. By accelerating the clock, performance can be gained...
In the past, processor design trends were dominated by increasingly complex feature sets, higher clock speeds, growing thermal envelopes and increasing power dissipation. Recently...
