Metal-only ECO realizes the last-minute design changes by revising the photomasks of metal layers only. This task is challenging because the pre-injected spare cells are limited b...
Soft errors, once only of concern in memories, are beginning to affect logic as well. Determining the soft error rate (SER) of a combinational circuit involves three main masking ...
In this paper we describe an area efficient power minimization scheme "Control Generated ClockingI` that saves significant amounts of power in datapath registers and clock dr...
MiniBit, our automated approach for optimizing bit-widths of fixed-point designs is based on static analysis via affine arithmetic. We describe methods to minimize both the intege...
