There is disclosed an apparatus for designing and optimizing a memory for use in an
embedded processing system. The apparatus comprises: 1) a simulation controller for …

The design of complex circuits as SoCs presents two great challenges to designers. One is
the speeding up of system functionality modeling and the second is the implementation of …

In the embedded domain, the gap between memory and processor performance and the
increase in application complexity need to be supported without wasting precious system …

The present invention obtains with high precision, in a storage system, the effect of
additional installation or removal of cache memory, that is, the change of the cache hit rate …

In a method and a device for determining requirement parameters of at least one physical
hardware unit, the operating parameters of simulated, virtual hardware units are varied …

(57) ABSTRACT A programmable operating time period of at least one soft ware unit is
changed to a settable operating time period. Furthermore, a testing system for validating the …

The increasing complexity and short product cycles drive developers of mobile systems to
analyse the performance of systems before hardware prototypes are available. Therefore, it …

Traditionally, in the field of embedded systems low power consumption and low cost have
been always regarded as stringent specification constraints. In recent years, high …

We present a procedure placement method for embedded applications. We use the trace-
driven simulation to collect information on the use of the cache line and then a heuristic …

The tuning of cache architectures in platforms for embedded systems applications can
dramatically reduce energy consumption. The existing cache exploration environments …
