Embedded system synthesis, multiprocessor synthesis, and thread assignment policy design all require detailed knowledge of the runtime communication patterns among different threa...
This paper focuses on statistical interconnect timing analysis in a parameterized block-based statistical static timing analysis tool. In particular, a new framework for performin...
Functional validation is a major bottleneck in pipelined processor design. Simulation using functional test vectors is the most widely used form of processor validation. While exi...
System Level Design (SLD) is widely seen as a solution for bridging the gap between chip complexity and design productivity of Systems on Chip (SoC). SLD relieves the designer fro...
We propose a power model for the Nostrum NoC. For this purpose an empirical power model of links and switches has been formulated and validated with the Synopsys Power Compiler. T...
