In the last years, new requirements in terms of vehicle performance increased significantly the amount of on-board electronics, thus raising more concern about safety and fault to...
Abstract--We present a refinement-based compositional framework for showing that pipelined machines satisfy the same safety and liveness properties as their non-pipelined specifica...
Abstract--Functional verification is one of the major bottlenecks in system-on-chip design due to the combined effects of increasing complexity and lack of automated techniques for...
As technology advances into the nanometer territory, the interconnect delay has become a first-order effect on chip performance. To handle this effect, the X-architecture has been...
Despite the impressive progress of logic synthesis in the past decade, finding the best architecture for a given circuit still remains an open problem and largely unsolved. In mos...
