Computational complexity has been the primary challenge of many VLSI CAD applications. The emerging multicore and manycore microprocessors have the potential to offer scalable perf...
The computer industry has a problem. As Moore's law marches on, we will be exploiting it to double cores, not frequencies. But all those cores ... 2 to 4 today growing to 8, ...
Randomness is inherent to biochemistry: at each instant, the sequence of reactions that fires is a matter of chance. Some biological systems exploit such randomness, choosing betw...
We present in this paper a multilevel floorplanning/placement framework based on the B*-tree representation, called MB*-tree, to handle the floorplanning and packing for large-sca...
Despite general awareness of the importance of keeping one's system secure, and widespread availability of consumer security technologies, actual investment in security remai...
