In this paper, we obtain the lower bounds on total energy dissipation of deep submicron (DSM) VLSI circuits via an informationtheoretic framework. This framework enables the deriv...
Specifications of data computations may not necessarily describe the ranges of the intermediate results that can be generated. However, such information is critical to determine t...
The performance of many modern computer and communication systems is dictated by latency of communication pipelines. At the same time, power consumption is often another limiting ...
The concept of improving the timing behavior of a circuit by relocating flip-flops is called retiming and was first presented by Leiserson and Saxe. The ASTRA algorithm propose...
An area-eficzent systolic architecture for realtime, programmable-coeBcient jinite impulse response (FIR)filters is presented. A technique called pipelined clustering is introduce...
