More and more software projects are using COTS (Commercialoff-the-shelf) components. Using COTS components brings both advantages and risks. To manage some risks in using COTS com...
With increasing speed and power density, high-performance memories, including FB-DIMM (Fully Buffered DIMM) and DDR2 DRAM, now begin to require dynamic thermal management (DTM) a...

In this paper, we describe our application of SPIN 1 to model an algorithm used to synchronize the clocks of modules that provide periodic real-time communication over a network. W...
As CMOS feature sizes venture deep into the nanometer regime, wearout mechanisms including negative-bias temperature instability and timedependent dielectric breakdown can severely...
