User authentication, which refers to the process of verifying the identity of a user, is becoming an important security requirement in various embedded systems. While conventional...
As technology advances into the nanometer territory, the interconnect delay has become a first-order effect on chip performance. To handle this effect, the X-architecture has been...
We obtain analytically, the energy optimal speed profile of a generic multi-speed device with a discrete set of speeds, to execute a given task within a given time. Current implem...
We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Using a posynomial delay model, the delay constraints are modified to incorporat...
The challenge of verifying a modern microprocessor design is an overwhelming one: Increasingly complex micro-architectures combined with heavy time-to-market pressure have forced ...
