Abstract— Design variability due to within-die and die-todie process variations has the potential to significantly reduce the maximum operating frequency and the effective yield...
Power consumption, particularly runtime leakage, in long on-chip buses has grown to an unacceptable portion of the total power budget due to heavy buffer insertion to combat RC de...

A powerful combinational path sensitization engine is required for the efficient implementation of tools for test pattern generation, timing analysis, and delay fault testing. Path...
This paper presents figures of merit and error formulae to determine which interconnects require volume discretization in the GHZ range. Most of the previous work focused mainly o...
—The dynamic programmable logic array (PLA) style has become popular in designing high-performance microprocessors because of its high speed and predictable routing delay. Howeve...
