Commercial tools for standard-cell based datapath design are here classed according to design flows, and the advantages of each class are discussed with the results of two test ci...
Wireless communications requires a new approach to implement the algorithms for new standards. The computational demands of these standards are outstripping the ability of traditi...
CT The traditional approach to worst-case static-timing analysis is becoming unacceptably conservative due to an ever-increasing number of circuit and process effects. We propose a...
This paper presents novel uses of functional interface specifications for verifying RTL designs. We demonstrate how a simulation environment, a correctness checker, and a function...
In this paper, we describe a set of compiler analyses and an implementation that automatically map a sequential and un-annotated C program into a pipelined implementation, targete...
