In the paper, we propose a new metric for the minimization of area in the generic problem of multiple constant multiplications, and demonstrate its effectiveness for digital FIR f...
Thermal problems and limitations on interlayer via densities are important design constraints on three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs), and need to be considered during g...
Multiprocessor SoC systems have led to the increasing use of parallel hardware along with the associated software. These approaches have included coprocessor, homogeneous processo...
This paper describes a simple and effective quadratic placement algorithm called RQL. We show that a good quadratic placement, followed by local wirelength-driven spreading can pr...

A protocol for latency-insensitive design with early evaluation is presented. The protocol is based on a symmetric view of the system in which tokens carrying information move in ...
Asynchronous circuits are increasingly attractive as low power or high-performance replacements to synchronous designs. A key part of these circuits are asynchronous micropipeline...
