- With increasing availability of predefined IP (Intellectual Properties) blocks and inexpensive microprocessors, embedded system designers are faced with more design choices than ...
— This is the first implementation of an FPGA based on autonomous fine-grain power-gating. To cut the power consumption of clock network and detect the activity of the cell e...
— Thermal balancing and reducing hot-spots are two important challenges facing the MPSoC designers. In this work, we model the thermal behavior of a MPSoC as a control theory pro...
