Software transactional distributed shared memory
We have developed a transaction-based approach to distributed shared memory(DSM) that supports object caching and generates path expression prefetches. A path expression specifies...

Behavioral consistency of C and verilog programs using bounded model checking
We present an algorithm that checks behavioral consistency between an ANSI-C program and a circuit given in Verilog using Bounded Model Checking. Both the circuit and the program ...
