This paper is an attempt to answer the following question: how much improvement can be obtained in logic decomposition by using Boolean divisors? Traditionally, the existence of t...
The design of modern complex embedded systems require a high level of abstraction of the design. The SimnML[1] is a specification language to model processors for such designs. Se...
Exploitation of silicon capacity will require improvements in design productivity and more scalable system paradigms. Asynchronous message passing networks on chip (NOC) have been...

The performance of out-of-order processors increases with the instruction window size. In conventional processors, the effective instruction window cannot be larger than the issue...
Although scan-based designs are widely used in order to reduce the complexity of test generation, test application time and test data volume are substantially increased. We propos...
