Abstract. The design flow of systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) identifies several abstraction levels higher than the Register-Transfer-Level that constitutes the input of the synthesis tool...

We present a methodology, an environment and supporting tools to map an application on a wireless sensor network (WSN). While the method is quite general, we use extensively an exa...

In this paper we analyse some methodological concerns that have to be faced in a design flow which contains automatic synthesis phases from high-level, system descriptions. In par...
- Each year tens of billions of Dollars are wasted by the microelectronics industry because of missed deadlines and delayed design projects. These delays are partially due to desig...
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have long held the promise of allowing designers to create systems with performance levels close to custom circuits but with a softwarelike ...
In a realistic design flow, circuit and system optimizations must interact with physical aspects of the design. For example, improvements in timing and power may require replacing ...
In this paper we present an enhanced design flow model that increases the capabilities of a CAD framework to support design activities on hierarchical multi-view design descriptio...

Currently, since many SoCs include heterogeneous components such as CPUs, DSPs, ASICs, memories, buses, etc., system integration becomes a major step in the design flow. To enable...
