Within-die process variations arise during integrated circuit (IC) fabrication in the sub-100nm regime. These variations are of paramount concern as they deviate the performance of...
H.264/AVC is a new international standard for the compression of natural video images, in which a deblocking filter has been adopted to remove blocking artifacts. In this paper, w...
Post-silicon validation has recently drawn designers' attention due to its increasing impacts on the VLSI design cycle and cost. One key feature of the post-silicon validatio...
Achieving high performance under a peak temperature limit is a first-order concern for VLSI designers. This paper presents a new model of a thermally-managed system, where a stoch...
Due to skewed scaling of interconnect delay and cell delay with technology scaling, modern VLSI timing closure requires use of extensive buffer insertion. Inserting a large number...
