For a design to survive unforeseen physical effects like aging, temperature variation, and/or
emergence of new application standards, adaptability needs to be supported. Adaptability …

This paper gives an overview of methods used for design space exploration (DSE) of micro-
architectures and systems. The DSE problem generally considers two orthogonal issues:(I) …

This paper presents an architecture description language (ADL) called ArchC, which is an
open-source SystemC-based language that is specialized for processor architecture …

Efficient design of embedded processors plays a critical role in embedded systems design.
Processor description languages and their associated specification, exploration and rapid …

Instruction set simulators are critical tools for the exploration and validation of new
programmable architectures. Due to increasing complexity of the architectures and time-to …

Recent developments on medical imaging techniques have brought a completely new
research field on image processing. The principal aim is to improve medical diagnosis …

This paper presents an approach for cycle-accurate simulation of embedded software by
integration in an abstract SystemC model. Compared to existing simulation-based …

Embedded systems present a tremendous opportunity to customise designs by exploiting
the application behaviour. Shrinking time-to-market, coupled with short product lifetimes …
