Achieving high performance under a peak temperature limit is a first-order concern for VLSI designers. This paper presents a new model of a thermally-managed system, where a stoch...
Existing work on testing NoC-based systems advocates to reuse the on-chip network itself as test access mechanism (TAM) to transport test data to/from embedded cores. While this m...
In the context of mobile data access, data caching is fundamental for both performance and functionality. For this reason there have been many studies into developing energy-effi...

Cache locality optimization is an efficient way for reducing the idle time of modern processors in waiting for needed data. This kind of optimization can be achieved either on the...
Architectural level analysis of a software system for its quality attributes is a proven cost-effective approach. This is particularly significant for performance, which defines m...
