An effective method for focusing optimization effort on the most important parts of a design is to examine those elements on the critical path. Traditionally, the critical path is...

Abstract-- The operational characteristics of integrated circuits based on nanoscale semiconductor technology are expected to be increasingly affected by variations in the manufact...
In this work, we provide a technique for efficiently exploring the configuration space of a parameterized system-on-a-chip (SOC) architecture to find all Pareto-optimal configurat...
—We survey state-of-the-art optimization methods that target low power dissipation in VLSI circuits. Optimizations at the circuit, logic, architectural and system levels are cons...
It is well known that SRAM constitutes a large portion of modern integrated circuits, with 80% or more of the total transistors being dedicated to SRAM in a typical processor or S...
