Three-dimensional integration technologies have been proposed in order to mitigate design challenges posed by deep-submicron interconnect. By providing multiple layers of active d...
This paper describes a new post-silicon validation problem for diagnosing systematic timing errors. We illustrate the differences between timing validation and the traditional log...

Gating the clock is an important technique used in low power design to disable unused modules of a circuit. Gating can save power by both preventing unnecessary activiiy in the lo...
Predictive accuracy claims should give explicit descriptions of the steps followed, with access to the code used. This allows referees and readers to check for common traps, and t...
High-level programming languages offer significant expressivity but provide little or no guarantees about resource use. Resourcebounded languages -- such as hardware-description l...
