Building a high-performance microprocessor presents many reliability challenges. Designers must verify the correctness of large complex systems and construct implementations that ...
Deep submicron processes have allowed FPGAs to grow in complexity and speed. However, such technology scaling has caused FPGAs to become more susceptible to the effects of process...
With scaling down to deep submicron and nanometer technologies, noise immunity is becoming a metric of the same importance as power, speed, and area. Smaller feature sizes, low vo...
The need to perform early design studies that combine architectural simulation with power estimation has become critical as power has become a design constraint whose importance h...
