Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...
This paper presents a design methodology, called common-case computation (CCC), and new design automation algorithms for optimizing power consumption or performance. The proposed ...

The maturity of schedulabilty analysis techniquesfor fired-prioritypreemptive scheduling has enabled the consideration of timing issues at design time using a specification of the...
This reported work applies a transformational synthesis approach to hardware/software codesign. In this approach, the process of algorithm design is coupled early on with hardware...
