Designers aim at fast but low-power consuming integrated circuits. Since high processing speed always comes with high energy demands, the literature provides several ways to reduc...
Low power has been considered as an important issue in instruction cache (I-cache) designs. Several studies have shown that the I-cache can be tuned to reduce power. These techniq...
Java is a programming language designed with concurrency in mind from its inception. However, the synchronization mechanism provided is a restricted version of Hoare's Monito...
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is a fundamental block in RF IC architectures. Today’s wireless communication applications do require a high level of performances from s...
