Software-based self-test (SBST) is emerging as a promising technology for enabling at-speed test of high-speed microprocessors using low-cost testers. We explore the fault diagnos...
An efficient matrix solver is critical to the analytical placement. As the size of the matrix becomes huge, the multilevel methods turn out to be more efficient and more scalable....
Verification of system designs continues to be a major challenge today. Simulation remains the primary tool for making sure that implementations perform as they should. We present...

As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...
Cyclic circuits that do not hold state or oscillate are often the most convenient representation for certain functions, such as arbiters, and can easily be produced inadvertently ...
