Coverage analysis is used to monitor the quality of the verification process. Reports provided by coverage tools help users identify areas in the design that have not been adequat...
For multi-gigahertz synchronous designs in nanometer technologies, multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects, thus making it necessary to have pipelined g...
Power consumption, particularly runtime leakage, in long on-chip buses has grown to an unacceptable portion of the total power budget due to heavy buffer insertion to combat RC de...
