During the past few years, embedded digital systems have been requested to provide a huge amount of processing power and functionality. A very likely foreseeable step to pursue th...
This paper suggests that the thermal state of a processor can be approximated using data flow analysis. The results of this analysis can be used to evaluate the efficacy of therma...
An energy optimization is proposed that addresses the nontrivial digital contribution to power and impact on performance in high-speed mixed-signal circuits. Parallel energy and b...
Exponential increases in architectural design complexity threaten to make traditional processor design optimization techniques intractable. Genetically programmed response surface...
The trend to multi-core chip designs presents new challenges for design automation, while the increased reuse of components may offer solutions. This paper describes some of the k...
