Selective gate-length biasing for cost-effective runtime leakage control
With process scaling, leakage power reduction has become one of the most important design concerns. Multi-threshold techniques have been used to reduce runtime leakage power witho...

Toward a systematic-variation aware timing methodology
Variability of circuit performance is becoming a very important issue for ultra-deep sub-micron technology. Gate length variation has the most direct impact on circuit performance...

Profile-guided microarchitectural floorplanning for deep submicron processor design
As process technology migrates to deep submicron with feature size less than 100nm, global wire delay is becoming a major hindrance in keeping the latency of intra-chip communicat...

Leakage-and crosstalk-aware bus encoding for total power reduction
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...

System design for DSP applications in transaction level modeling paradigm
In this paper, we systematically define three transaction level TLMs), which reside at different levels of abstraction between the functional and the implementation model of a DSP...

The best of both worlds: the efficient asynchronous implementation of synchronous specifications
The desynchronization approach combines a traditional synchronous specification style with a robust asynchronous implementation model. The main contribution of this paper is the d...

Exploiting structure in symmetry detection for CNF
Instances of the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) arise in many areas of circuit design and verification. These instances are typically constructed from some human-designed ar...

Architecture-level synthesis for automatic interconnect pipelining
For multi-gigahertz synchronous designs in nanometer technologies, multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects, thus making it necessary to have pipelined g...
