A metric for layout-friendly microarchitecture optimization in high-level synthesis
In this work we address the problem of managing interconnect timing in high-level synthesis by generating a layoutfriendly microarchitecture. A metric called spreading score is pr...

Improving gate-level simulation accuracy when unknowns exist
Unknown values (Xs) may exist in a design due to uninitialized registers or blocks that are powered down. Due to X-pessimism in gate-level logic simulation, such Xs cannot be hand...

Exploiting die-to-die thermal coupling in 3D IC placement
In this paper, we propose two methods used in 3D IC placement that effectively exploit the die-to-die thermal coupling in the stack. First, TSVs are spread on each die to reduce t...

STM concurrency control for embedded real-time software with tighter time bounds
We consider software transactional memory (STM) concurrency control for multicore real-time software, and present a novel contention manager (CM) for resolving transactional conï¬...
