The design of high-throughput large-state Viterbi decoders relies on the use of multiple arithmetic units. The global communication channels among these parallel processors often ...
Conventionally, microarchitecture designs are mainly guided by the maximum throughput (measured as IPC) and fail to evaluate the impact of architectural decisions on the physical ...

Efficient energy and performance estimation of embedded software is a critical part of any system-level design flow. Macromodeling based estimation is an attempt to speed up estim...
While performance specifications are verified before sign-off for a modern nanometer scale design, extensive application of optical proximity correction substantially alters the l...

We present an efficient optimization scheme for gate sizing in the presence of process variations. Using a posynomial delay model, the delay constraints are modified to incorporat...
