In this work, we propose a new FPGA design flow that combines the CUDA programming model from Nvidia with the state of the art high-level synthesis tool AutoPilot from AutoESL, to...
This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
Refactoring in object-orientation has gained increased attention due to its ability to improve design quality. Refactoring using design patterns (DPs) leads to production of high ...
For the worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis, especially loops are an inherent source of unpredictability and loss of precision. This is caused by the difficulty to obtain sa...
