This paper proposes a framework for ontology-based design support systems, called DRIFT (Design Rationale Integration Framework of Three layers), which records, structures and retr...
— On current superscalar processors, performance and power issues cannot be decoupled for designers. Extensive simulations are usually required to meet both power and performance...
—This paper compares the energy-delay tradeoff curves of 32-bit static barrel and funnel shifters. The Stanford Circuit Optimization Tool (SCOT) is used to determine best transis...
