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...
Abstract— Regular structures are present in many types of circuits. If this structure can be identified and utilized, performance can be improved dramatically. In this paper, we...
Abstract— This paper addresses high level synthesis for realtime digital signal processing (DSP) architectures using heterogeneous functional units (FUs). For such special purpos...

— A novel wave-pipelined global interconnect system is developed for reliable, high throughput, on-chip data communication. We argue that because there is only a single signal pr...
