The rise of multi-core processors has shifted performance efforts towards parallel programs. However, single-threaded code, whether from legacy programs or ones difficult to para...
Retiming is a widely investigated technique for performance optimization. It performs powerful modifications on a circuit netlist. However, often it is not clear, whether the pred...
Performance guarantees can be given to tasks in an embedded system by ensuring that access to each shared resource is mediated by an appropriate scheduler. However, almost all pre...
Abstract-- The operational characteristics of integrated circuits based on nanoscale semiconductor technology are expected to be increasingly affected by variations in the manufact...
System reliability has become an increasingly important benchmark in measuring service continuity. As part of many service level agreements, system performance is gauged by how lo...
