A general scheduling methodology is presented that can be integrated into specialized or
general-purpose high-level synthesis systems. An initial version of the force-directed …

This book provides broad and comprehensive coverage of the entire EDA flow. EDA/VLSI
practitioners and researchers in need of fluency in an" adjacent" field will find this an …

High-level synthesis systems start with an abstract behavioral specification of a digital
system and find a register-transfer level structure that realizes the given behavior. The …

An integer linear programming (ILP) model for the scheduling problem in high-level
synthesis is presented. In addition to time-constrained scheduling and resource-constrained …

The HAL system performs data path synthesis using a new scheduling algorithm that is part
of an interdependent scheduling and allocation scheme. This scheme uses an estimate of …

We propose a graph-theoretic approach for the data path allocation problem. We
decompose the problem into three subproblems:(1) register allocation,(2) operation …

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

In this paper, a heuristic dynamic scheduling scheme for parallel real-time jobs executing on
a heterogeneous cluster is presented. In our system model, parallel real-time jobs, which are …

Fault-tolerant scheduling is an imperative step for large-scale computational grid systems,
as often geographically distributed nodes co-operate to execute a task. By and large …

Abstract Design automation for embedded systems comprising both hardware and software
components demands for code generators integrated into electronic CAD systems. These …
