Many complex control problems require sophisticated solutions that are not amenable to
traditional controller design. Not only is it difficult to model real world systems, but often it is …

The design of today's System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures faces many challenges in respect
to the involved complexity and heterogeneity. An early and systematic exploration of …

In this paper a new method has been proposed to decide optimal placement and best sizing
of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Seeking the best place is performed using …

The ever increasing complexity and heterogeneity of modern system-on-chip (SoC)
architectures make an early and systematic exploration of alternative solutions mandatory …

Many important results in the area of computer architecture have been achieved using
simulators. In this paper we present SMART, a simulator of parallel architectures. SMART …

For cache analytical modeling, the stack distance theory is widely utilized to predict LRU-
cache behaviors. Typically, the stack distance histogram collecting is implemented by …

A major concern with high-performance general-purpose workstations is to speed up the
execution of commands, uniprocess applications, and multiprocess applications with coarse …

ChARM is a simulation tool for tuning ARM-based embedded systems that include cache
memories. ChARM provides a parametric, trace-driven simulation for tuning system …

In high-performance general-purpose workstations and servers, the workload can be
typically constituted of both sequential and parallel applications. Shared-bus shared …

We present an easy-to-use model that addresses the practical issues in designing bus-
based shared-memory multiprocessor systems. The model relates the shared-bus width, bus …
