All existing methods for thermal-via allocation are based on a steady-state thermal analysis and may lead to excessive number of thermal vias. This paper develops an accurate and ...
Moore’s law describes the growth in on-chip transistor density, which doubles every 18 to 24 months and looks set to continue for at least a decade and possibly longer. This grow...
High-speed asynchronous ripple FIFOs may be easily embedded in synchronous environments and can elegantly handle the problem of forwarding data between clock domains. In cases whe...
– Floorplanning large designs with many hard macros and IP blocks of various sizes is becoming an increasingly important and challenging problem. This paper presents a global flo...
This paper describes a new post-silicon validation problem for diagnosing systematic timing errors. We illustrate the differences between timing validation and the traditional log...
