Hardware/Software Co-Simulation in a VHDL-Based Test Bench Approach
Novel test bench techniques are required to cope with a functional test complexity which is predicted to grow much more strongly than design complexity. Our test bench approach at...

Schedule Validation for Embedded Reactive Real-Time Systems
Task scheduling forreactive real time systems is a di cult problem due to tight constraints that the schedule must satisfy. A static priority scheme is proposed here that can be f...

Wire Segmenting for Improved Buffer Insertion
Buffer insertion seeks to place buffers on the wires of a signal net to minimize delay. Van Ginneken [14] proposed an optimal dynamic programming solution (with extensions propose...

Quadratic Placement Revisited
The “quadratic placement” methodology is rooted in [6] [14] [16] and is reputedly used in many commercial and in-house tools for placement of standard-cell and gate-array desi...

Data Memory Minimisation for Synchronous Data Flow Graphs Emulated on DSP-FPGA Targets
The paper presents an algorithm to determine the close-tosmallest possible data buffer sizes for arbitrary synchronous data flow (SDF) applications, such that we can guarantee the...
