This report addresses the problem of scheduling for real-time systems that include both hard and soft tasks. In order to capture the relative importance of soft tasks and how the ...
In the nanometer manufacturing region, process variation causes significant uncertainty for circuit performance verification. Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) is thus dev...
Advanced MOSFETs such as Strained Silicon (SS) devices have emerged as critical enablers to keep Moore's law on track for sub100nm technologies. Use of Strained Silicon devic...
Although algorithm level re-computing techniques can trade-off the detection capability of Concurrent Error Detection (CED) vs. time overhead, it results in 100% time overhead whe...
We describe a high performance clocking methodology for domino pipelines. Our technique maximizes the clock rate of the circular pipeline (“ring”) while maintaining the ring c...
