As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...
Bounded Model Checking (BMC) based on Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) procedures has recently gained popularity as an alternative to BDD-based model checking techniques for finding b...
