With increasing process variation, binning has become an important technique to improve the values of fabricated chips, especially in high performance microprocessors where transpa...
: We present several techniques for accelerating dynamic vector compaction for combinational and sequential circuits. A key feature of all our techniques is that they significantly...
We present a simulation-based semi-formal verification method for sequential circuits described at the registertransfer level. The method consists of an iterative loop where cove...
