-- Physical synthesis is a relatively young field in Electronic Design Automation. Many published optimizations for physical synthesis end up hurting the final result, often by neg...
Reducing power, on both a per cycle basis and as the total energy used over the lifetime of an application, has become more important as small and embedded devices become increasi...
Scaling is currently the most popular technique used to improve performance metrics of CMOS circuits. This cannot go on forever because the properties that are responsible for the ...
We address power minimization of earliest deadline first and ratemonotonic schedules by voltage and frequency scaling. We prove that the problems are NP-hard, and present (1+ ) f...
In modular testing of system-on-a-chip (SoC), test access mechanisms (TAMs) are used to transport test data between the input/output pins of the SoC and the cores under test. Prio...
