A propositional proof system is automatizable if there is an algorithm that, given a tautology, produces a proof in time polynomial in the size of its smallest proof. This notion ...
Due to technology scaling and increasing clock frequency, problems due to noise effects lead to an increase in design/debugging efforts and a decrease in circuit performance. This...
We consider an M/G/1 queue with a removable server. When a customer arrives, the workload becomes known. The cost structure consists of switching costs, running costs, and holding ...
Abstract--This paper presents a solution to the problem of performance-driven buffered routing tree generation for VLSI circuits. Using a novel bottom-up construction algorithm and...
Abstract. We address the problem of detecting race conditions in programs that use semaphores for synchronization. Netzer and Miller showed that it is NP-complete to detect race co...
