In deep submicron circuits, elevation in temperatures has brought new challenges in reliability, timing, performance, cooling costs and leakage power. Conventional thermal managem...
We present an adaptive work-stealing thread scheduler, ASTEAL, for fork-join multithreaded jobs, like those written using the Cilk multithreaded language or the Hood work-stealing...

Clock skew scheduling has been effectively used to reduce the clock period of sequential circuits. However, this technique may become impractical if a different skew must be appli...
Current methods cannot synthesize real-time embedded software applications when the global deadline of a task is shorter than the total of all local deadlines along a critical pat...
Abstract— As technology scales to 0.13 micron and below, designs are requiring buffers to be inserted on interconnects of even moderate length for both critical paths and fixing...
