The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
We present a method for providing response-time guarantees in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. The method is based on traditional real-time CPU Response-Time Analysis (R...
The circuit tuning problem is best approached by means of gradient-based nonlinear optimization algorithms. For large circuits, gradient computation can be the bottleneck in the o...
