In the design of complex power distribution networks (PDN) with multiple power islands, it is required that the PDN represents a low impedance as seen by the digital modules. This...
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 ...
This paper addresses battery-aware static scheduling in batterypowered distributed real-time embedded systems. As suggested by previous work, reducing the discharge current level ...
Multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects for multi-gigahertz designs in nanometer technologies. For synchronous designs, this requires retiming and pipel...
Power optimization is of growing importance for FPGAs in nanometer technologies. Considering dual-Vdd technique, we show that configurable power supply is required to obtain a sat...
