Post-silicon validation has recently drawn designers' attention due to its increasing impacts on the VLSI design cycle and cost. One key feature of the post-silicon validatio...
Static worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis is done by modeling the hardware behavior. In this paper we describe a WCET analysis technique to analyze systems with function ca...
The memory hierarchy of a system can consume up to 50% of microprocessor system power. Previous work has shown that tuning a configurable cache to a particular application can red...
Profiling an application executing on a microprocessor is part of the solution to numerous software and hardware optimization and design automation problems. Most current profilin...
In this paper, we present a flexible accelerator designed for networking applications. The accelerator can be utilized efficiently by a variety of Network Processor designs. Most ...
