Early energy estimation is increasingly important in MultiProcessor System-On-Chip
(MPSoC) design. Applying traditional approaches, which consist in delaying the estimation …

This works presents a Design Space Exploration (DSE) method for Behavioral IPs (BIPs)
given in ANSI-C or SystemC to find the smallest micro-architecture for a specific target …

Modern embedded systems come with contradictory design constraints. On one hand, these
systems often target mass production and battery-based devices, and therefore should be …

As embedded systems grow more complex and as new applications such as IoT require
many design constraints, sophisticated design space exploration techniques are essential in …

Simulators help computer architects optimize system designs. The limited performance of
simulators even of moderate size and detail makes the approach infeasible for design-space …

System-level design space exploration (DSE), which is performed early in the design
process, is of eminent importance to the design of complex multi-processor embedded …

Time-to-market pressure and the ever-growing design complexity of multiprocessor system-
on-chips have demanded an efficient design environment that enables fast exploration of …

This article presents emerging results of an integrated mixed-domain design methodology
similar to the mixed-signal design methodologies in the VLSI community. This methodology …

A desirable feature of a development tool for SoC design is that, given the important
applications in the domain to be targeted by the SoC, a powerful hardware-software …

Design space exploration (DSE) has become a notoriously difficult problem due to the
exponentially increasing size of design space of microprocessors and time-consuming …
