A tool that automates the floating-point to fixed-point conversion (FFC) process for digital signal processing systems is described. The tool automatically optimizes fixed-point d...
Graphs are well-known, well-understood, and frequently used means to depict networks of related items. They are successfully used as the underlying mathematical concept in various ...
Schedulability analysis of real-time embedded systems requires worst case timing guarantees of embedded software performance. This involves not only language level program analysi...
This paper reconsiders the threat posed by Shacham's "return-oriented programming" -- a technique by which WX-style hardware protections are evaded via carefully cr...
