Retiming is a widely investigated technique for performance optimization. It performs powerful modifications on a circuit netlist. However, often it is not clear, whether the pred...
With power becoming a major constraint for multi-processor embedded systems, it is becoming important for designers to characterize and model processor power dissipation. It is cr...
