Escalating system-on-chip design complexity is pushing the design community to raise the
level of abstraction beyond register transfer level. Despite the unsuccessful adoptions of …

We survey recent developments in high level synthesis technology for VLSI design. The
need for higher-level design automation tools are discussed first. We then describe some …

Force-directed algorithms have been developed over the last 50 years and used in many
application fields, including information visualisation, biological network visualisation …

In this paper we present an approach for quantitative analysis of application-specific
dataflow architectures. The approach allows the designer to rate design alternatives in a …

Introduction to Hardware-Software Co-Design presents a number of issues of fundamental
importance for the design of integrated hardware software products such as embedded …

Over the past decade there has been a dramatic change in the role played by design
automation for electronic systems. Ten years ago, integrated circuit (IC) designers were …

Selected code is modeled in a polyhedral dependency graph (PDG). A placement optimizer
maps each element of the PDG to an optimally placed PDG. An ordering optimizer maps the …

Harris corner detection is an algorithm frequently used in image processing and computer
vision applications to detect corners in an input image. In most modern applications of image …

This paper addresses high-level synthesis methodologies for dedicated digital signal
processing (DSP) architectures used in the iterative Loop-based Minnesota Architecture …

The last two decades have seen a revolution in telecom technology with the evolution of
three wireless mobile communication standards, namely, GPRS to 3G, 3G to 4G, and 4G to …
