We describe a simple on-line heuristic for scheduling job-shops. We assume there is a fixed set of routes for the jobs, and many jobs, say N, on each route. The heuristic uses saf...
Abstract--The Distributed Stochastic Algorithm (DSA), Distributed Breakout Algorithm (DBA), and variations such as Distributed Simulated Annealing (DSAN), MGM-1, and DisPeL, are di...
IDDQ testing has been used as a test technique to supplement voltage testing of CMOS chips. The idea behind IDDQ testing is to declare a chip as faulty if the steady-state current...
NBTI is one of the most important silicon reliability problems facing processor designers today. The impact of NBTI can be mitigated at both the circuit and microarchitecture leve...
The main objectives of cancer treatment in general, and of cancer chemotherapy in particular, are to eradicate the tumour and to prolong the patient survival time. Traditionally, t...
