This paper discusses the initial results of research into the development of a hardware/software co-design of the Java virtual machine. The design considers a complete Java virtua...
We present a formalism for implementing circuits with Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA), comprising a set of standard circuit elements with uniform layout rules. The formalism s...
Cohesion was rst developed to predict properties of implementations created from a given design. Unfortunately, cohesion, as originally de ned, could not be objectively assessed, ...
The paper presents a technique for the design of digital systems on the basis of reusable hardware templates, which are circuits with modifiable functionality that might be custom...
This paper presents a new low-level communication subsystem called Nemesis. Nemesis has been designed and implemented to be scalable and efficient both in the intranode communica...
