Characterizing setup/hold times of latches and registers, a crucial component for achieving timing closure of large digital designs, typically occupies months of computation in in...
— Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) are widely used to perform design space exploration for Application Specific Instruction Set Processors (ASIPs). While the design spa...

In this paper we describe a regular expression pattern matching approach for reconfigurable hardware. Following a Non-deterministic Finite Automata direction, we introduce three ne...
When searching for functional bugs in silicon, debug data is acquired after a trigger event occurs. A trigger event can be configured at run-time using a set of control registers...
