Effective and efficient microprocessor design space exploration using unlabeled design configurations

An Approach for Effective Design Space Exploration

Design space exploration (DSE) refers to the activity of exploring design alternatives prior to implementation. The power to operate on the space of potential design candidates renders DSE useful for many engineering tasks, including rapid prototyping, optimization, and system integration. The main challenge in DSE arises from the sheer size of the design space that must be explored. Typically,...

Efficient design space exploration for embedded systems

Design space exploration is an important factor in embedded systems design. During several steps in a state-of-the-art design flow, designers have to decide between many design alternatives. The decisions are located at various levels of abstraction. In addition, the choices affect several design goals, the alternatives therefore represent a multi-criteria decision problem. Further, the space o...

Energy efficient CMOS microprocessor design

Reduction of power dissipation in microprocessor design is becoming a key design constraint. This is motivated not only by portable electronics, in which battery weight and size is critical, but by heat dissipation issues in larger desktop and parallel machines as well. By identifying the major modes of computation of these processors and by proposing figures of merit for each of these modes, a...
