Memory-related activity is one of the major sources of energy consumption in embedded systems. Many types of memories used in embedded systems allow multiple operating modes (e.g....
Satisfiability of complex word-level formulas often arises as a problem in formal verification of hardware designs described at the register transfer level (RTL). Even though most...
Functional verification of complex designs largely relies on the use of simulation in conjunction high-level verification languages (HVL) and test-bench automation (TBA) tools. In...
In order to cope with the ever increasing complexity of todays application specific integrated circuits, a building block based design methodology is established. The system is co...
The Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) is a heterogeneous multi-core processor specifically designed to exploit thread-level parallelism. Its memory model comprehends a common shared ...
