With aggressive superscalar processors delivering diminishing returns, alternate designs that make good use of the increasing chip densities are actively being explored. One such ...
A central problem in functional verification is to check that a circuit block is producing correct outputs while enforcing that the environment is providing legal inputs. To attac...
Dynamic Binary Translators (DBT) and Dynamic Binary Optimization (DBO) by software are used widely for several reasons including performance, design simplification and virtualiza...

This paper describes gate work function and oxide thickness tuning to realize novel circuits using dual-Vth independent-gate FinFETs. Dual-Vth FinFETs with independent gates enabl...
This paper presents a simple, hybrid two phase global optimization algorithm called DE-PSO for solving global optimization problems. DE-PSO consists of alternating phases of Diffe...
