This paper describes a novel technique called Embedded Test-bench Control (ETC), extensively used in the verification of Tensilica’s latest configurable processor. Conventional ...
This paper introduces a combination of models and proofs for optimal power management via Dynamic Frequency Scaling and Dynamic Voltage Scaling. The approach is suitable for syste...
Set-associative caches are traditionally managed using hardwarebased lookup and replacement schemes that have high energy overheads. Ideally, the caching strategy should be tailor...
