Exponential increases in architectural design complexity threaten to make traditional processor design optimization techniques intractable. Genetically programmed response surface...
Since process and environmental variations can no longer be ignored in high-performance microprocessor designs, it is necessary to develop techniques for computing the sensitiviti...

Recent advances in digital microfluidics have enabled lab-on-a-chip devices for DNA sequencing, immunoassays, clinical chemistry, and protein crystallization. Basic operations suc...
In this paper, we present DeFer -- a fast, high-quality and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a non-slicing floorplan by compacting a slicing fl...
Temperature hot-spots have been known to cause severe reliability problems and to significantly increase leakage power. The register file has been previously shown to exhibit the ...
