The goal of testing is to distinguish between a number of hypotheses about a systemfor example, dierent diagnoses of faults by applying input patterns and verifying or falsifying t...
Leakage current is a key factor in IC power consumption even in the active operating mode. We investigate the simultaneous optimization of gate size and threshold voltage to reduc...
Three dimensional vertically integrated systems allow active devices to be placed on multiple device layers. In recent years, a number of research efforts have addressed physical ...
Increasing effects of fabrication variability have inspired a growing interest in statistical techniques for design optimization. In this work, we propose a Monte-Carlo driven sto...
Application-specific instructions can significantly improve the performance, energy, and code size of configurable processors. A common approach used in the design of such instruc...
