In this paper, we propose a new global router, BoxRouter, powered by the concept of box expansion and progressive integer linear programming (ILP). BoxRouter first uses a simple P...
Most existing dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) schemes for multiple tasks assume an energy cost function (energy consumption versus execution time) that is independent of the task ch...
Power Gating is effective for reducing leakage power. Previously, a Distributed Sleep Transistor Network (DSTN) was proposed to reduce the sleep transistor area by connecting all ...
Deploying multiple supply voltages (multi-Vdds) on one chip is an important technique to reduce dynamic power consumption. In this work we present an optimality study for resource...
As the technology node advances into the nanometer era, via-open defects are one of the dominant failures. To improve via yield and reliability, redundant-via insertion is a highl...
For a space compactor, degradation of fault detection capability caused by the masking effects from unknown values is much more serious than that caused by error masking (i.e. ali...
A novel method to solve the state encoding problem in Signal Transition Graphs is presented. It is based on the structural theory of Petri nets and can be applied to large specifi...
As VLSI technology scales toward 65nm and beyond, both timing and power performance of integrated circuits are increasingly affected by process variations. In practice, people oft...
In this paper, we propose an adaptive low-power bus encoding algorithm based on weighted code mapping (WCM) and the delayed bus technique. The WCM algorithm transforms an original...
