Computational complexity has been the primary challenge of many VLSI CAD applications. The emerging multicore and manycore microprocessors have the potential to offer scalable perf...
Traditionally, synchronous languages, such as Esterel, have been compiled into hardware, where timing analysis is relatively easy. When compiled into software ? e.g., into sequent...

Manufacturing process variability impacts the performance of synchronous logic circuits by means of its effect on both clock network and functional block delays. Typically, varia...
Process scaling has given designers billions of transistors to work with. As feature sizes near the atomic scale, extensive variation and wearout inevitably make margining unecono...
