Until very recently, microprocessor designs were computation-centric. On-chip communication was frequently ignored. This was because of fast, single-cycle on-chip communication. T...
During the past few years, embedded digital systems have been requested to provide a huge amount of processing power and functionality. A very likely foreseeable step to pursue th...
Multicore processors have become ubiquitous in today’s systems, but exploiting the parallelism they offer remains difficult, especially for legacy application and applications ...
The increasing power dissipation of current processors and processor cores constrains design options, increases packaging and cooling costs, increases power delivery costs, and de...
