Design and verification of systems at the Register-Transfer (RT) or behavioral level require the ability to reason at higher levels of abstraction. Difference logic consists of an...
Design space exploration during high level synthesis is often conducted through ad-hoc probing of the solution space using some scheduling algorithm. This is not only time consumi...

Correctness is a paramount attribute of any microprocessor design; however, without novel technologies to tame the increasing complexity of design verification, the amount of bugs...
Pareto surfaces in the performance space determine the range of feasible performance values for a circuit topology in a given technology. We present a non-dominated sorting based ...

In designing bus based systems with parallel and pipelined architecture, it is important to derive a real time budget (a specified execution time limit) for each task of a bus bas...
FinFET devices promise to replace traditional MOSFETs because of superior ability in controlling leakage and minimizing short channel effects while delivering a strong drive curre...
Accurate estimation of the worst-case execution time (WCET) of a program is important for real-time embedded software. Static WCET estimation involves program path analysis and ar...
Multimedia applications usually have throughput constraints. An implementation must meet these constraints, while it minimizes resource usage and energy consumption. The compute i...
Aggressive scaling of technology has an adverse impact on the reliability of VLSI circuits. Apart from increasing transient error susceptibility, the circuits also become more vul...
