Using a formal specification and a model checker to monitor and direct simulation
We describe a technique for verifying that a hardware design correctly implements a protocol-level formal specification. Simulation steps are translated to protocol state transiti...

Partial task assignment of task graphs under heterogeneous resource constraints
This paper presents a novel partial assignment technique (PAT) that decides which tasks should be assigned to the same resource without explicitly defining assignment of these tas...

Power grid reduction based on algebraic multigrid principles
With the scaling of technology, power grid noise is becoming increasingly significant for circuit performance. A typical power grid circuit contains millions of linear elements, m...

An O(nlogn) time algorithm for optimal buffer insertion
The classic algorithm for optimal buffer insertion due to van Ginneken has time and space complexity O(n2 ), where n is the number of possible buffer positions. We present a new a...

A hybrid SAT-based decision procedure for separation logic with uninterpreted functions
SAT-based decision procedures for quantifier-free fragments of firstorder logic have proved to be useful in formal verification. These decision procedures are either based on enco...

Test cost reduction for SOCs using virtual TAMs and lagrange multipliers
Recent advances in tester technology have led to automatic test equipment (ATE) that can operate at up to several hundred MHz. However, system-on-chip (SOC) scan chains typically ...
