Simple computer designs move data with a single bus structure; multiple buses, however, vastly improve performance. In a multiple-bus architecture, each pathway is suited to handle a particular ...

The PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturing Group recently ratified the PICMG 2.17 CompactPCI StarFabric Specification, which specifies how to implement StarFabric. StarFabric provides a simple ...

Expansion buses (sometimes called peripheral buses) have connectors that allow you to add a computer's expansion cards (peripherals). Different types of standard internal buses are characterized by ...

Configurable processors are, by nature, easily adapted to traditional system bus architectures. However, their configurable bus architectures provide designers with alternative approaches. For example ...

A shared bus architecture allows testing and repairing memories within IP cores through a single access point referred to as a shared bus interface. Within this interface, designers need ...

As a member of Power.org and in close collaboration with IBM, Denali has developed verification IP, testbenches, and compliance suites for the PLB-4 specification, which is the most widely-used ...

In addition, a shared bus architecture provides flexibility to users to route design-for-test (DFT) signals along functional paths behind the shared bus interface. Tessent MemoryBIST instruments ...

However, the personal computer is not an ideal platform for home entertainment, since the system hardware and software are not designed for real-time audio/video stream processing. For example, the ...

Design and understanding of the computer system as a whole unit. Performance Evaluation and its role in computer system design; Instruction Set Architecture design, Datapath design and optimizations ...
