Proxy-based task partitioning of watermarking algorithms for reducing energy consumption in mobile devices
Digital watermarking is a process that embeds an imperceptible signature or watermark in a digital file containing audio, image, text or video data. The watermark is later used to...

Compact thermal modeling for temperature-aware design
Thermal design in sub-100nm technologies is one of the major challenges to the CAD community. In this paper, we first introduce the idea of temperature-aware design. We then propo...
