—Power and energy consumption has emerged as the premier and most constraining aspect in modern computational systems. Dynamic Voltage Scheduling (DVS) has been provably one of t...
Embedded First-In First-Out (FIFO) memories are increasingly used in many IC designs. We have created a new full-custom embedded FIFO module with asynchronous read and write clock...

This research explores any potential for an on-chip cache compression which can reduce not only cache miss ratio but also miss penalty, if main memory is also managed in compresse...
In a typical VLSI/PCB design, some modules are pre-placed in advance, and the other modules are requested to be placed without overlap with these pre-placed modules. The presence ...
