Abstract. Silicon chip design has passed a threshold whereby exponentially increasing transistor density (Moore’s Law) no longer translates into increased processing power for si...
The inherent instruction-level parallelism (ILP) of current applications (specially those based on floating point computations) has driven hardware designers and compilers writers...
An Early Completion technique is developed to significantly increase the throughput of NULL Convention self-timed digital systems without impacting latency or compromising their s...
Orthogonal scan paths, which follow the path of the data flow, can be used in data path designs to reduce the test overhead -- area, delay and test application time -- by sharing ...
Scheduling is widely recognized as a very important step in highlevel synthesis. Nevertheless, it is usually done without taking into account the effects on the actual hardware im...
