Decoupling capacitor (decap) placement has been widely adopted as an effective way to suppress dynamic power supply noise. Traditional decap budgeting algorithms usually explore t...
Many DTM schemes rely heavily on the accurate knowledge of the chip's dynamic thermal state to make optimal performance/ temperature trade-off decisions. This information is ...
This work proposes a new problem of identifying large and tangled logic structures in a synthesized netlist. Large groups of cells that are highly interconnected to each other can...

Vectorless power grid verification makes it possible to evaluate worst-case voltage drops without enumerating possible current waveforms. Under linear current constraints, the vec...
In this study, we propose the use of specialized influence models to capture the dynamic behavior of a Network-onChip (NoC). Our goal is to construct a versatile modeling framewor...
NBTI has been a major aging mechanism for advanced CMOS technology and PBTI is also looming as a big concern. This work first proposes a compact on-chip sensor design that tracks ...

This work considers the problem of minimizing the power consumption for real-time scheduling on processors with discrete operating modes. We provide a model for determining the ex...
Online social networks are a growing internet phenomenon: they connect millions of individuals through sharing of common interests, political and religious views, careers, etc. So...
Fault simulation is essential in test generation, design for test and reliability assessment of integrated circuits. Reliability analysis and the simulation of self-test structure...
