Scratch-pad memory (SPM) has been widely used in embedded systems because it allows software-controlled data placement. By designing data placement strategies, optimal solutions with minimal memory ...

Modern network-on-chip could include different types of nodes. Generally nodes that are of-chip external interconnections controllers – external nodes, are used in the system for I/O. Internal nodes ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A new suite of benchmarks that should help facilitate research in IC placement, floorplanning, and routing was put to the test in a placement contest at the International ...

In SoCs (systems on chip) used for automotive applications, embedded flash/memories take up almost 50% of the die area; the rest of the area is used for SoG (Sea of gates). To deal with signal routing ...

In the fast-paced realm of semiconductor technology, optimizing chip design to meet the dual challenges of performance enhancement and cost reduction has emerged as a pivotal focus. A new study ...

Soft robots can be far more flexible than their rigid relatives, but their vast ranges of motion makes it hard to map the location of their body parts. A new algorithm could give them greater control ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about fitness, health and wearable tech Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They ...
