- The problem of determining lower bounds for the energy cost of a given nanoscale design is addressed via a complexity theory-based approach. This paper provides a theoretical fra...
An effective method for focusing optimization effort on the most important parts of a design is to examine those elements on the critical path. Traditionally, the critical path is...

Functional dependency is concerned with rewriting a Boolean function f as a function h over a set of base functions {g1, …, gn}, i.e. f = h(g1, …, gn). It plays an important r...

As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...
The choice of an appropriate hardware representation model is key to successful evolution of digital circuits. One of the most popular models is cartesian genetic programming, whi...
