Many moderate size Programmable Logic Device (PLD) designs, especially those in control plane applications, consist of a number of interfaces interconnected via an onchip bus to a microprocessor that may be on- or off-chip. Although each interface is often relatively simple, the task of building all the on-chip interconnections...

Over the past few years, the technology of energy harvesting has emerged from the laboratory to the marketplace. In practice, however, it has been difficult to efficiently capture the ambient or "waste" energy generated by many practical devices suited for this purpose, due to their very low voltage and power...

PCI was originally designed as an interconnect for personal computers; because of the nature of PCs at that time, the protocol architects did not anticipate the need for multiprocessors. Therefore, they designed the system assuming that the host processor would enumerate the entire memory space. Obviously, if another processor...
