Embedded real-time multimedia applications usually imply data parallel processing. SIMD processors embedded in SOCs are cost-effective to exploit the underlying parallelism. Howev...
The aggressive evolution of the semiconductor industry — smaller process geometries, higher densities, and greater chip complexity — has provided design engineers the means to...
— High level synthesis is one of the next major steps to improve the hw/sw co-design process. The advantages of high nthesis are two-fold. At first the level of abstraction is r...
Transactional Coherence and Consistency (TCC) is a novel coherence scheme for shared memory multiprocessors that uses programmer-defined transactions as the fundamental unit of p...
There is today little doubt on the fact that a high-performance and cost-effective Network-on-Chip can only be designed in 45nm and beyond under a relaxed synchronization assumpti...
