Simulated annealing based standard cell placement for VLSI designs has long been acknowledged as a compute-intensive process. All previous work in parallel simulated annealing bas...
1 Fault-tolerance is due to the semiconductor technology development important, not only for safety-critical systems but also for general-purpose (non-safety critical) systems. How...
Voltage-frequency scaling (VFS) trades a linear processor slowdown for a potentially quadratic reduction in energy consumption. Complex dependencies may exist between different tas...
During last years, the Time-Triggered Architecture (TTA) has been gaining acceptance as a generic architecture for highly dependable real-time systems. It is now being used to imp...
We present an improvement of the SAT-based Unbounded Model Checking (UMC) algorithm. UMC, a symbolic approach introduced in [7], uses propositional formulas in conjunctive normal ...
