Many techniques for power management employed in advanced RTL synthesis tools rely explicitly or implicitly on observability don’t-care (ODC) conditions. In this paper we presen...
Biological systems have inherent mechanisms which ensure their adaptation and thus survival — preservation of functionality, despite extreme and varying environments. One such e...
— It has been the conventional assumption that, due to the superlinear dependence of leakage power consumption on temperature, and widely varying on-chip temperature profiles, a...

This paper tackles the problem of dynamic power management (DPM) in nanoscale CMOS design technologies that are typically affected by increasing levels of process, voltage, and te...
Errors in timing closure process during the physical design stage may result in systematic silicon failures, such as scan chain hold time violations, which prohibit the test of ma...
