This paper presents a novel low-energy memory design technique, considering effective bitwidth of variables for applicationspecific systems, called VAbM technique. It targets th...
Datapath width optimization is very effective for reducing the area of a custom-made embedded system. The trivial way of optimization is to iteratively customize, evaluate, and r...
Software pipelining and unfolding are commonly used techniques to increase parallelism for DSP applications. However, these techniques expand the code size of the application sign...

Adding a small loop cache to a microprocessor has been shown to reduce average instruction fetch energy for various sets of embedded system applications. With the advent of core-b...
ForSyDe (FORmal SYstem DEsign) is a methodology which addresses the design of SoC applications which may contain control as well as data flow dominated parts. Starting with a for...
Nowadays, new DSP applications are offering combined and flexible multimedia and telecom services. VLIW processor architectures, which include dedicated but inflexible functional ...
This paper proposes a simulation-based methodology for validation of a system under design in an early phase of development. The key element of this approach is the visual speci...
Static timing analysis of embedded software is important for systems with hard real-time constraints. To accurately estimate time bounds, it is essential to model the underlying m...
