Don't-care conditions provide additional flexibility in logic synthesis and optimization. However, most work only focuses on the gate level because it is difficult to handle ...
Achieving high performance under a peak temperature limit is a first-order concern for VLSI designers. This paper presents a new model of a thermally-managed system, where a stoch...
The memory hierarchy of a system can consume up to 50% of microprocessor system power. Previous work has shown that tuning a configurable cache to a particular application can red...
We present practical algorithms for the synthesis of crosstalk cancelling equalizing filters. We examine designs optimized for the traditional l2 metric and introduce an approach ...
As the technology migrates into the deep submicron manufacturing (DSM) era, the critical dimension of the circuits is getting smaller than the lithographic wavelength. The unavoid...
