Power-related issues have become important considerations in current generation microprocessor design. One of these issues is that of elevated on-chip temperatures. This has an ad...
Many DTM schemes rely heavily on the accurate knowledge of the chip's dynamic thermal state to make optimal performance/ temperature trade-off decisions. This information is ...
With the advent of System-On-Chip (SOC) technology, there is a pressing need to enhance the quality of ools available and increase the level of abstraction at which hardware is des...
Timing Closure in presence of long global wire interconnects is one of the main current issues in System-onChip design. One proposed solution to the Timing Closure problem is Late...
The Hardware (HW)/Software (SW) partitioning/scheduling relies on two subtasks : the cost function and the real time (RT) analysis. Besides these two subtasks, the proposed generi...
