Traditional approaches to evolvable hardware (EHW), in which the field programmable gate array (FPGA) configuration is directly encoded, have not scaled well with increasing cir...
A fundamental difference between ASICs and FPGAs is that wires in ASICs are designed such that it matches the requirements of a particular design. Wire parameters such as: length...
Almost all universities offer introductory courses that focus on microcontroller-based systems and embedded programming. Advanced course offerings vary, and are often not availabl...

FPGA-based designs are more susceptible to single-event upsets (SEUs) compared to ASIC designs. Soft error rate (SER) estimation is a crucial step in the design of soft error tole...
Logic duplication is an effective method for improving circuit performance. In this paper we present an algorithm named SPD that performs simultaneous placement and duplication to...
