Due to the dramatic increase in design complexity, verifying the functional correctness of a circuit is becoming more difficult. Therefore, bugs may escape all verification effo...
As process technology continues to shrink, interconnect current densities continue to increase, making it ever more difficult to meet chip reliability targets. For microprocessors...
Disk-oriented approaches to online storage are becoming increasingly problematic: they do not scale gracefully to meet the needs of large-scale Web applications, and improvements ...
