Active decoupling capacitors (decaps) are more effective than passive decaps at reducing local IR-drop problems in the power distribution network. In the basic active decap, two p...
NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability) has emerged as the dominant PMOS device failure mechanism for sub100nm VLSI designs. There is little research to quantify its impact o...
The Balanced Subgraph problem (edge deletion variant) asks for a 2-coloring of a graph that minimizes the inconsistencies with given edge labels. It has applications in social netw...
The width of an interconnect line a ects the total power consumed by a circuit. A tradeo exists, however, between the dynamic power and the short-circuit power in determining the ...
In this paper we deal with the problem of allocating a given number of tokens, so as to maximize the firing rate of a cyclic event graph with deterministic transition firing delay...
