The importance of re-usable Intellectual Properties (IPs) cores is increasing due to the growing complexity of today's system-on-chip and the need for rapid prototyping. In th...
Transaction level models (TLMs) can be constructed at t levels of abstraction, denoted as untimed (UT), cycle-approximate (CX), and cycle accurate (CA) in this paper. The choice o...
Most hardware description languages do not enforce determinacy, meaning that they may yield races. Race conditions pose a problem for the implementation, verification, and validat...

Upper bounds on worst-case execution times, which are commonly called WCET, are a prerequisite for validating the temporal correctness of tasks in a real-time system. Due to the e...
The design of high performance multimedia systems in a short time force us to use IP's blocks in many designs. However, their correct integration in a design implies more com...
