Exponential increases in architectural design complexity threaten to make traditional processor design optimization techniques intractable. Genetically programmed response surface...
We present and evaluate a novel switching mechanism called layered switching. Conceptually, the layered switching implements wormhole on top of virtual cut-through switching. To s...
Statistical behavior of device leakage and threshold voltage shows a strong width dependency under microscopic random dopant fluctuation. Leakage estimation using the conventional...
Process variation has become a critical problem in modern VLSI fabrication. In the presence of process variation, buffer insertion problem under performance constraints becomes mo...
In the way they cope with variability, present-day methodologies are onerous, pessimistic and risky, all at the same time! Dealing with variability is an increasingly important as...
