This work addresses the problem of application mapping in networks-on-chip (NoCs) having as goal to minimize the total dynamic energy consumption of a complex system-on-a-chip (So...
There is a large gap between the theory and practice for random number generation. For example, on most operating systems, using /dev/random to generate a 256-bit AES key is highl...
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are an increasingly popular choice of platform for the implementation of cryptographic systems. Until recently, designers using FPGAs had le...
This paper presents a low-overhead scheme for built-in self-test of circuits with scan. Complete (100%) fault coverage is obtained without modifying the function logic and without...
The exponential distribution is a key distribution in many event-driven Monte-Carlo simulations, where it is used to model the time between random events in the system. This paper...
