In reconfigurable platform, before convert and download program into real hardware, reliable estimation of speedup factor is of great importance for task schedulers. In this paper, a novel technique for speedup factor estimation is proposed. From the event patterns collected by hardware counters built...

This paper presents an efficient global routing algorithm for a hierarchical inter-connection architecture of FPGA. What is different from the traditional FPGA rout-ing algorithm is that the proposed algo-rithm takes advantage of the hierarchical structure of this particular FPGA. We use a hierarchical...

In this paper, we propose a placement method for island-style FPGAs. This me-thod consists of three steps: recursive bi-partition with terminal propagation con-sideration, minimum-cost flow initial placement and low temperature simulated annealing optimization. Unlike the traditional partitioning-based...

Packing-integrating basic logic units into higher level logic unit-is an important step in cluster-based hierarchical FPGA placement. The physical information of logic block acquiring before packing has a real influence over both wirelength-driven and timing-driven packing algo-rithms. A new packing...

This paper has two contributions: First is to analyze the entropy evaluation for random stimulus generation in one paper of DATE 2008; second is to present better methods to evaluate the solutions’ even distribution for random stimulus generation. An evaluation strategy called min-distance-sum takes...

Test generation at RTL (Register-Transfer Level) is a challenging task be-cause bit and word variables co-existent and the high-level functional units impose more complex constraints. We propose an effective way to the problem. In our method, given the circuit as well as the fault point to be checked,...

Driver fatigue is one of the important fac-tors in a large number of traffic accidents. Eye states (full open, half open or closed) analysis is an efficient measure to evalu-ate driver’s alertness. In this paper, we present an effective vision-based driver fatigue detection method. Firstly, the in-terframe...

A novel power aware accuracy-guaranteed fractional bit-widths optimization scheme for floating-point to fixed-point transformation of DSP algorithms is presented in this paper. Quantization-Operation-Error (QOE) model is used to construct the worst case quantization error propagation. Based on QOE, a...

In this paper, a fixed-outline floorplan-ning algorithm based on 2.5D is proposed. By using constraints of area and number of pins to divide the modules into 4 layers, it confines the variations of the widths of the floorplans to a small region through common subsequence of sequence pair representation....

Collaborative Filtering help users to deal with information overload and guide them in a personalized way to interesting or useful objects in a large space of possible options. In this paper, we present a novel and elegant hybrid recommender system called HOLCF, which use higher-order logic as data representation...

In component-based system design, one need to obtain from a given set of com-ponents an integrated system which is correct in the sense that the system is live, bounded and reversible. In this paper, based on the composition of augmented marked graphs, we propose a method for verifying correctness of...

An object oriented Petri net was proposed in order to describe reconfigurable systems. The formal definitions of this kind of Petri net were presented carefully. The methods of subnet partition were discussed in details. And techniques of mapping objects to reconfigurable platform were discussed as well....

A linear model parameter estimation method is proposed based on Bayesian treatment in addition to the linear least squares ,The detail algorithm of one order linear model parameter estimation was introduced in the paper , it can also be used to the parameter estimation of multi-order linear model .we...

With wide application of computers, software quality attracts people`s atten-tion. Traditional software dependability theory can’t satisfy people`s requirement, which need induct new idea to resolve the serious software quality crisis. This paper uses self-reconfiguration mechanism of Autonomic Computing...

When technology developments accelerate in recent year, automatic tools for assisting patent engineers or decision makers in patent analysis are in great demand. By composing both bibliographic coupling and text mining approaches, this study proposes an intelligent patent retrieval system that considers...
