In the way they cope with variability, present-day methodologies are onerous, pessimistic and risky, all at the same time! Dealing with variability is an increasingly important as...
With power becoming a major constraint for multi-processor embedded systems, it is becoming important for designers to characterize and model processor power dissipation. It is cr...

Real defects (e.g. stuck-at or bridging faults) in the VLSI circuits cause intermediate voltages and can not be modeled as ideal shorts. In this paper we first show that the trad...
In this work, we propose a new paradigm called power emulation, which exploits hardware acceleration to drastically speedup power estimation. Power emulation is based on the obser...
This paper discusses a Genetic Algorithm-based method of generating test vectorsfor detecting faults in combinational circuits. The GA-based approach combines the merits of two te...
