Scheduling-based test-case generation for verification of multimedia SoCs
Multimedia SoCs are characterized by a main controller that directs the activity of several cores, each of which is in charge of a stage in the processing of a media stream. The v...

An adaptive FPGA architecture with process variation compensation and reduced leakage
Process induced threshold voltage variations bring about fluctuations in circuit delay, that affect the FPGA timing yield. We propose an adaptive FPGA architecture that compensate...

MARS-C: modeling and reduction of soft errors in combinational circuits
Due to the shrinking of feature size and reduction in supply voltages, nanoscale circuits have become more susceptible to radiation induced transient faults. In this paper, we pre...
