The term scalability appears frequently in computing literature, but it is a term that is poorly defined and poorly understood. The lack of a clear, consistent and systematic trea...
NBTI is one of the most important silicon reliability problems facing processor designers today. The impact of NBTI can be mitigated at both the circuit and microarchitecture leve...
State machines are a popular method of representing a syshigh level of abstraction that enables developers to gain an overview of the system they represent and quickly understand ...
In this paper we describe a regular expression pattern matching approach for reconfigurable hardware. Following a Non-deterministic Finite Automata direction, we introduce three ne...
—In modern sub-micron design, achieving low-skew clock distributions is facing challenges for high-performance circuits. Symmetric global clock distribution and clock tree synthe...
