This paper presents a novel technique to perform global optimization of communication and preprocessing calls in the presence of array accesses with arbitrary subscripts. Our sche...
Minimizing power consumption is one of the most important objectives in IC design. Resizing gates and assigning different Vt’s are common ways to meet power and timing budgets. ...
