Rapid modeling and optimization of manufacturing processes, devices, and circuits are
required to support modern integrated circuit technology development and yield …

In this paper, we propose an approach for the synthesis of heterogeneous (embedded)
systems, while exploiting a hierarchical problem structure. Particular to our approach is that …

Embedded computer systems are used in a wide range of devices and appliances such as
mobile phones, printers, and cars. Though these appliances are not usually regarded as …

The constant increase in levels of integration and reduction in the time-to-market has led to
the definition of new methodologies, which lay emphasis on reuse. One emerging approach …

In this paper, we present a system synthesis algorithm, called MOCSYN, which partitions
and schedules embedded system specifications to intellectual property cores in an …

In addition to integrating different Intellectual Property cores, heterogeneous embedded
systems provide several architecture knobs such as voltage, operating frequency …

Architectural synthesis has gained rapid dominance in the design flows of application
specific computing. Exploring an optimal design point during architectural synthesis is a …

Mapping of applications on a Multi-processor System-on-Chip (MP-SoC) is a crucial step to
optimize performance, energy and memory constraints at the same time. The problem is …

Rapid growth in the complexity of system-on-chips is being accompanied by increasing
volume and diversity of on-chip communication traffic, which in turn, is driving the …

Abstract Design space exploration (DSE) aims at searching through various models
representing different design candidates to support activities like configuration design of …
