This paper describes a dynamically reconfigurable hardware-based computer called the Plastic Cell Architecture (PCA). PCA consists of dualstructured sea-of -cells that consist of a...
-- Noise in deep submicron technology combined with the move towards dynamic circuit techniques for higher performance have raised concerns about reliability and energyefficiency o...
A technique is proposed to reduce the peak power consumption of sequential circuits during test pattern application. High-speed computation intensive VLSI systems, as telecommunica...
The power dissipated by system-level buses is the largest contribution to the global power of complex VLSI circuits. Therefore, the minimization of the switching activity at the I...
