System-on-a-chip test scheduling with precedence relationships, preemption, and power constraints
Test scheduling is an important problem in system-on-a-chip (SOC) test automation. Efficient test schedules minimize the overall system test application time, avoid test resource c...

Generalized traveling-wave-based waveform approximation technique for the efficient signal integrity verification of multicouple
As very large scale integration (VLSI) circuit speed rapidly increases, the inductive effects of interconnect lines strongly impact the signal integrity of a circuit. Since these i...

An Esterel compiler for large control-dominated systems
Embedded hard real-time software systems often need fine-grained parallelism and precise control of timing, things typical real-time operating systems do not provide. The Esterel l...

A timing-constrained simultaneous global routing algorithm
In this paper, we propose a new approach for VLSI interconnect global routing that can optimize both congestion and delay, which are often competing objectives. Our approach provi...
