This paper describes an improved approach to Boolean network optimization using internal don’t-cares. The improvements concern the type of don’t-cares computed, their scope, a...
Main memories can consume a large percentage of overall energy in many data-intensive embedded applications. The past research proposed and evaluated memory banking as a possible ...
As Moore’s Law continues to fuel the ability to build ever increasingly complex system-on-chips (SoCs), achieving performance goals is rising as a critical challenge to completi...
