Due to increasing design complexity new methodologies for system modeling have been established in VLSI CAD. The SystemC methodology gains a significant reduction of design cycle...
We present a case study on the design of a heterogeneous architecture for MPEG-2 video decoding. The primary objective of the case study is the validation of the SPADE methodology...

— 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...
The impact of process variation in state of the art technology makes traditional (worst case) designs unnecessarily pessimistic, which translates to suboptimal designs in terms of...
