In multi-core processors there are several ways to pair a thread to a particular core. These load-balancing techniques result in a quite different power, performance and thermal b...
In this paper, we present a novel multigrid-based technique for power/ground mesh area optimization subject to reliability constraints. The multigrid-based technique is applied to...
As the CMOS technology scaled down, the horizontal coupling capacitance between adjacent wires plays dominant part in wire load, crosstalk interference becomes a serious problem f...
This paper considers the implementation of an annealing technique for dynamic power reduction in FPGAs. The proposed method comprises a power-aware objective function for placemen...
This paper presents a tutorial on mixed-signal testing. Our focus is on testing the analog portion of the mixed-signal device, as the digital portion is handled in the usual way. ...
