Conventionally, signal net routing is almost always implemented as Steiner trees. However, non-tree topology is often superior on timing performance as well as tolerance to open f...
This paper proposes a practical content-dependent lowpower DCT design with tolerable quality drop. Lowpower issue has become more and more important, especially for portable devic...
Aggressive scaling of technology has an adverse impact on the reliability of VLSI circuits. Apart from increasing transient error susceptibility, the circuits also become more vul...
The size and complexity of systems based on multiple processing units demand techniques for the automatic diagnosis of their state. System-level diagnosis consists in determining ...
In this paper, we propose a new sensitivity based, statistical gate sizing method. Since circuit optimization effects the entire shape of the circuit delay distribution, it is dif...
