Thursday, June 13, 2002, 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM | Room: 288 SESSION 54    Design Space Exploration for Embedded Systems    Chair: Henk Corporaal - IMEC/DESICS, Leuven, BEL    Organizers: Jo Dale Carothers, Luca Benini    This session encompasses aspects of design exploration for embedded systems. The first paper presents a methodology for exploring the design space of packet processing devices on the system level. The next paper presents a technique for energy estimation and optimization of embedded systems. The session concludes with a paper on energy reduction techniques for SDRAM memory systems.      54.1 A Framework for Evaluating Design Tradeoffs in Packet Processing Architectures    Speaker(s): Samarjit Chakraborty - ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland    Author(s): Lothar Thiele - ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland Samarjit Chakraborty - ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland Matthias Gries - ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland Simon Kuenzli - ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland      54.2 Energy Estimation and Optimization of Embedded VLIW Processors Based on Instruction Clustering    Speaker(s): Vittorio Zaccaria - Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy    Author(s): Andrea Bona - ALari, Lugano, Switzerland Mariagiovanna Sami - Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy Donatella Sciuto - Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy Cristina Silvano - Univ. di Milano, Milano, Italy Vittorio Zaccaria - Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy Roberto Zafalon - STMicroelectronics, Agrate Brianza , Italy      54.3 Energy Exploration and Reduction of SDRAM Memory Systems    Speaker(s): Naehyuck Chang - Seoul National Univ., Seoul, Korea    Author(s): Yongsoo Joo - Seoul National Univ., Seoul, Korea Yongseok Choi - Seoul National Univ., Seoul, Korea Hojun Shim - Seoul National Univ., Seoul, Korea Hyung Gyu Lee - Seoul National Univ., Seoul, Korea Kwanho Kim - Seoul National Univ., Seoul, Korea Naehyuck Chang - Seoul National Univ., Seoul, Korea
