Clock mesh is popular in high performance VLSI design because it is more robust against variations than clock tree at a cost of higher power consumption. In this paper, we propose ...
The existence of non-uniform thermal gradients on the substrate in high performance IC’s can significantly impact the performance of global on-chip interconnects. This issue is...
In this paper we propose a design methodology for low-power, high-performance, process-variation tolerant architecture for arithmetic units. The novelty of our approach lies in th...
Abstract. Shared registers are basic objects used as communication mediums in asynchronous concurrent computation. A concurrent timestamp system is a higher typed communication obj...
In most models of computation, a device performs some type of process, and only some final output is regarded as the result. In adding an observer to such a device, one can obtain ...
