Arm, Intel and Nvidia have jointly authored a paper describing an 8-bit floating point (FP8) specification and its two variants E5M2 and E4M3 to provide a common interchangeable format that works for ...

This paper presents a new hardware/software partitioning methodology for SoCs. Target architecture is composed of a RISC host and one or more configurable microprocessors. First, a system is ...

Designing the hardware-software interface. Dealing with "bytes enables" in RTL verification. Automating the HSI design process across the entire dev team. The hardware-software interface (HSI) holds ...

We propose the use of XML for specifying and designing hardware. Many different methods for the specification of hardware designs are in use. The majority of these are based on either closed markup ...

The iterations a specification goes through in a given project. Are chip design and verification specs, and hardware and software specs, separate entities? Automation of the specification process.

The core concepts in hardware-software co-design are getting another look, nearly two decades after this approach was first introduced and failed to catch on. What’s different this time around is the ...

No one gives much thought to the heating, ventilation and air conditioning registers in the house –– typically, two in each room, one for supply, the other for return. That is, until the lever in each ...
