This paper presents an instruction set simulator of a 32-bit CPU and explains its use in embedded software development. Interaction of the ISS with transaction level model of a complex peripheral ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about new technologies and usage models transforming business. Well over 90% of cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) ...

Even though a microprocessor can operate at a clock frequency of 3GHz and the FPGA chips operate in the 100–300MHz frequency range, the parallelism and internal bandwidth on a DEL processor can ...

When asked about how a central processing unit works, you might say it’s the brain of the computer. It does all the calculations on math and makes logical decisions based on certain outcomes. However, ...

Simpler, faster, lower-power hardware with a free, open, simple instruction set architecture? While it sounds too good to be true, efforts are underway to do just that with RISC-V, the instruction-set ...

Constrained-random verification (CRV) offers a highly effective way to deal with the challenges of microprocessor verification. These verification challenges are overwhelming for many reasons: complex ...
