SPIE: Sparse Partial Inductance Extraction
Extracting the inductance of complex interconnect topologies is a formidable task, and simulating the resulting dense partial inductance matrix is even more difficult. Furthermore...

Extreme Delay Sensitivity and the Worst-Case Switching Activity in VLSI Circuits
Abstract We observe that the switching activity at a circuit node, also called the transition density, can be extremely sensitive to the circuit internal delays. As a result, sligh...

Using speculative execution for fault tolerance in a real-time system
Achieving fault-tolerance using a primary-backup approach involves overhead of recovery such as activating the backup and propagating execution states, which may a ect the timelin...

Instruction Cache Fetch Policies for Speculative Execution
Current trends in processor design are pointing to deeper and wider pipelines and superscalar architectures. The efficient use of these resources requires speculative execution, ...
