— We consider decision making in a Markovian setup where the reward parameters are not known in advance. Our performance criterion is the gap between the performance of the best ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the battery life (or duration of service) in battery-powered CMOS circuits. We first show that the battery efficiency (or utili...
Simulated annealing based standard cell placement for VLSI designs has long been acknowledged as a compute-intensive process. All previous work in parallel simulated annealing bas...
We describe an architectural design space exploration methodology that minimizes the energy dissipation of digital circuits. The centerpiece of our methodology is a Verilog-based ...
Simultaneous multithreading is a technique that permits multiple independent threads to issue multiple instructions each cycle. In previous work we demonstrated the performance po...
