Classical floorplanning minimizes a linear combination of area and wirelength. When Simulated Annealing is used, e.g., with the Sequence Pair representation, the typical choice o...
A circuit or circuit component that does not contain any spurious switching activity, i.e., activity that is not required by its specified functionality, is called perfectly power...
Embedded processors are increasingly deployed in applications requiring high performance with good real-time characteristics whilst being low power. Parallelism has to be extracte...
Although x86 processors have been around for a long time and are the most ubiquitous processors in the world, the amount of academic research regarding details of their performanc...
A large and increasing number of modern embedded systems are subject to tight power/energy constraints. It has been demonstrated that the operating system (OS) can have a signifi...
Fault-tolerant distributed real-time systems are presently facing a lot of new challenges. Although many techniques provide effective masking of node failures on the architectural...
