We present an analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of function and object based models in system specification. Functional models should be used for functional design space expl...
The automotive electronics industry is experiencing an era of unprecedented growth. Driven by emissions and safety legislation, fuel economy constraints, cost constraints, and cus...
In the design of embedded systems-on-chip, the success of a product generation depends on the exibility to accommodate future design changes. This requirement in uences the hardwa...

—Huge new design challenges for system-on-chip (SoC) are the result of decreasing time-to-market coupled with rapidly increasing gate counts and embedded software representing 50...
In this paper we present an approach to performance estimation for hard real-time systems. We consider architectures consisting of multiple processors. The scheduling policy is ba...
Memory interleaving is a cost-efficient approach to increase bandwidth. Improving data access locality and reducing memory access conflicts are two important aspects to achieve hi...
In current design practice synthesis tools play a key role, letting designers to concentrate on the specificationof the system being designed by carrying out repetitive tasks such...
