The bus tracing is used to catch related signals for further investigation and analysis. However, the trace size of cycleaccurate tracing is large and the trace cycle is shallow u...
Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) in MOSFETs is one of the major reliability challenges in nano-scale technology. This paper presents an efficient technique to characte...

Off-chip decoupling capacitor (decap) allocation is a demanding task during package and chip codesign. Existing approaches can not handle large numbers of I/O counts and large num...
Satisfiability (SAT) solvers often benefit from a preprocessing of the formula to be decided. For formulae in conjunctive normal form (CNF), subsumed clauses may be removed or par...
Processing and storage of confidential or critical information is an every day occurrence in computing systems. The trustworthiness of computing devices has become an important co...
Due to high levels of integration and complexity, the design of multi-core SoCs has become increasingly challenging. In particular, energy consumption and distributing a single gl...
We discover significant value-dependent programming energy variations in multi-level cell (MLC) flash memories, and introduce an energy-aware data compression method that minimize...
In many designs, the worst-case-delay path may never be exercised or may be exercised infrequently. For those designs, a strategy of optimizing a circuit for the worst-case condit...

The flip-chip package provides a high chip-density solution to the demand for more I/O pads of VLSI designs. In this paper, we present the first routing algorithm in the literatur...
