Joint module selection and retiming is a powerful technique to optimize the implementation cost and the speed of a circuit specified using a synchronous data-flow graph (DFG). In ...
Portable systems require long battery lifetime while still delivering high performance. Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) algorithms reduce energy consumption by changing processor sp...

One of the main goals of coverage tools is to provide the user with informative presentation of coverage information. Specifically, information on large, cohesive sets of uncovere...
We extend in this paper the concept of the P-admissible floorplan representation to that of the P*-admissible one. A P*-admissible representation can model the most general floorp...
