High-level synthesis tools, both commercial and academic, typically rely on static scheduling to produce high-throughput pipelines. However, in applications with unpredictable memory accesses or irregular control flow, these tools need to make pessimistic ...
This book defines and explores the problem of placing the instances of dynamic data types on the components of the heterogeneous memory organization of an embedded system, with the final goal of reducing energy consumption and improving performance. It is ...
Embedded memories, mostly implemented with static random access memory (SRAM), dominate the area and power of integrated circuits. Gain-cell embedded DRAM (GC-eDRAM) is an alternative to SRAM due to its high density, low power consumption, and two-ported f ...
Logic synthesis is a fundamental step in the realization of modern integrated circuits. It has traditionally been employed for the optimization of CMOS-based designs, as well as for emerging technologies and quantum computing. Recently, it found applicatio ...
Large dataflow designs are a result of behavioral specification of modern complex digital systems and/or a result of unfolding and transforming looped and branched programs. Since deep-submicron silicon technology provides large amounts of available resour ...
Technology scaling has progressed to enable integrated circuits with extremely high density enabling systems of tremendous complexity with manageable power consumption. With the continuation of Moore's law for many years, electronic chips have been able to ...
As an increase of intelligent and self-powered devices is forecasted for our future everyday life, the implementation of energy-autonomous devices that can wirelessly communicate data from sensors is crucial. Even though techniques such as voltage scaling ...
The capability to process high-resolution videos in real-time is becoming more important in a wide variety of applications such as autonomous vehicles, virtual reality or intelligent surveillance systems. The high-accuracy and complex video processing algo ...
Today, the design of electronic systems is largely automated. The practice of using software automation technologies for the design of electronic hardware is commonly referred to as Electronic Design Automation (EDA). EDA comprises a large set of tools, fr ...
FPGA routing is one of the most time-consuming steps of FPGA compilation, often preventing fast edit-compile-test cycles in prototyping and development. There have been attempts to accelerate FPGA routing using algorithmic improvements, multi-core or multi ...
Smart health monitoring devices, known as Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSN) are transforming today's health-care landscape, shifting it from traditional hospital-based methods toward more personalized approaches. Their demand is ever-increasing in the mode ...
