In a later stage of a VLSI design, it is quite often to modify a design implementation to accommodate the new specification, design errors, or to meet design constraints. In addit...
Caches may consume half of a microprocessor’s total power and cache misses incur accessing off-chip memory, which is both time consuming and energy costly. Therefore, minimizing...
Component-based software development (CBSD) offers many advantages like reduced product time to market, reduced complexity and cost etc. Despite these advantages its wide scale ut...
Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is known to be one of the most efficient techniques for power reduction of integrated circuits. Efficient low voltage DC-DC conversion is a key enabl...
It is well known that there cannot be a single "best" heuristic for optimal planning in general. One way of overcoming this is by combining admissible heuristics (e.g. b...
