Minimizing test power in SRAM through reduction of pre-charge activity
In this paper we analyze the test power of SRAM memories and demonstrate that the full functional precharge activity is not necessary during test mode because of the predictable a...

Scheduling under resource constraints using dis-equations
Scheduling is an important step in high-level synthesis (HLS). In our tool, we perform scheduling in two steps: coarse-grain scheduling, in which we take into account the whole co...
