— As technology scales, the delay uncertainty caused by process variations has become increasingly pronounced in deep submicron designs. In the presence of process variations, wo...
—Considering process variability at the behavior synthesis level is necessary, because it makes some instances of function units slower and others faster, resulting in unbalanced...
In this paper we develop a theory of equivalence checking (EC) and logic synthesis of circuits with a common specification (CS). We show that two combinational circuits N1, N2 have...
Abstract. The DEFACTO project - a Design Environment For Adaptive Computing TechnOlogy - is a system that maps computations, expressed in high-level languages such as C, directly o...
