In this paper, we evaluate the dependencies between tools, data and environment in process design kits, and present a framework for systematically analyzing the quality of the des...
Custom design, in which the designer controls the physical structure of the chip, can greatly improve the speed, power, and delay of an ASIC chip without affecting design time. Th...
Platforms have become an important concept in the design of electronic systems. We present here the motivations behind the interest shown and the challenges that we have to face t...
