Verification and testing of hardware heavily relies on cycle-accurate simulation of RTL.
As single-processor performance is growing only slowly, conventional, single-threaded RTL simulation is becoming impractical for increasingly complex chip designs and ...
The demise of Moore's Law and Dennard Scaling has revived interest in specialized computer architectures and accelerators. Verification and testing of this hardware depend heavily upon cycle-accurate simulation of register-transfer-level (RTL) designs. The ...
This paper studies the behaviour of the gridconnected modular multilevel converter under unbalanced grid conditions in terms of the energy imbalances within the converter, and proposes a novel approach for dealing with imbalances. Since the energy content ...
Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robots (SRMRs) are assemblies of autonomous robotic units, referred to as modules, joined together using active connection mechanisms. By changing the connectivity of these modules, SRMRs are able to deliberately change their ow ...
Power system dynamic simulators can be classified according to multiple criteria, including speed, precision, cost and modularity (topology, characteristics and model). Existing simulators are based on time-consuming numeric algorithms, which provide very ...
The Modular Multilevel Converter is very likely to operate in a grid-connected mode under asymmetric conditions. Such a converter features several unique characteristics, which make its analysis different from other types of power converters in similar cas ...
The multicore revolution and the ever-increasing complexity of computing systems is dramatically changing system design, analysis and programming of computing platforms. Future architectures will feature hundreds to thousands of simple processors and on-ch ...
