To achieve high instruction throughput, instruction schedulers must be capable of producing high-quality schedules that maximize functional unit utilization while at the same time...
A simple extension of the critical path method is presented which allows more accurate optimization of circuits with level-sensitive latches. The extended formulation provides a s...
This paper presents a new effective Built-In Self Test (BIST) scheme that achieves 100% fault coverage with low area overhead, and without any modification of the circuit under tes...

The combination of flit-buffer flow control methods and latency-insensitive protocols is an effective solution for networks-on-chip (NoC). Since they both rely on backpressure...
Concurrent Action-Oriented Specifications (CAOS) model the behavior of a synchronous hardware circuit as asynchronous guarded at an abstraction level higher than the Register Tran...
