Abstract— To meet the challenge of increasing design complexity, designers are turning to system level design languages to model systems at a higher level of abstraction. This pa...
System-level design techniques promise a way to lessen the productivity gap between fabrication and design. Unfortunately, these techniques have been slow to catch on, in part bec...
This paper concerns automatic hardware synthesis from data flow graph (DFG) specification in system level design. In the presented design methodology, each node of a data flow gra...
This paper presents a practical approach to communication synthesis for hardware/software system specified as tasks communicating through lossless blocking channels. It relies on ...
Due to difficulties in distributing a single global clock signal over increasingly large chip areas, a globally asynchronous, locally synchronous design is considered a promising ...
