Chip area, power consumption, execution time, off-chip memory bandwidth, overall cache miss rate and Network-on-Chip (NoC) capacity are limiting the scalability of SoCs. Consider a workload comprising a sequential and multiple concurrent tasks and asymmetric or heterogeneous SoC architecture. A convex optimization framework is proposed, for selecting the optimal set of processing cores and allocating ...

StarSync, a mesochronous synchronizer, enables low latency and full throughput crossing of clock domain boundaries having same frequency but different phases. Full back pressure is supported, where the receiver can start and stop accepting words without any data loss. Variable depth buffering is provided, supporting a wide range of short and long range communications and ...
