In the context of formal verification Bounded Model Checking (BMC) has shown to be very powerful for large industrial designs. BMC is used to check whether a circuit satisfies a...
In hardware - software codesign paradigm often a performance estimation of the system is needed for hardware - software partitioning. The tremendous growth of application specific...
We address the problem of verifying the correctness of pre-silicon models of a microprocessor. We touch on the latest advances in this area by considering two different aspects of...
An effective thermal management scheme, called active bank switching, for temperature control in the register file of a microprocessor is presented. The idea is to divide the phys...
System-level power exploration requires tools for estimation of the overall power consumed by a system, as well as a detailed breakdown of the consumption of its main functional b...
