— Energy efficiency has become one of the most important issues to be addressed in today’s System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designs. One way to lower the power consumption is to reduce ...
9, IO]. However, unlike the case with static timing, it is not so easy We show how recent advances in the handling of correlated interval representations of range uncertainty can b...
— Memory-intensive applications present unique challenges to an ASIC designer in terms of the choice of memory organization, memory size requirements, bandwidth and access latenc...
Performance non-determinism in computer systems complicates evaluation, use, and even development of these systems. In performance evaluation via benchmarking and simulation, nond...
