In recent articles we presented a general methodology for finite optimization. The new method, the Nested Partitions (NP) method, combines partitioning, random sampling, a select...
We describe a high performance clocking methodology for domino pipelines. Our technique maximizes the clock rate of the circular pipeline (“ring”) while maintaining the ring c...
Partitioning is a time consuming and computationally complex optimization problem in the codesign of hardware software systems. The stringent time-to-market requirements have resu...
This paper presents an efficient statistical design methodology that allows simultaneous sizing for performance and optimization for yield and robustness of analog circuits. The s...
An automated design procedure is described for synthesizing circuits with low power concurrent error detection. It is based on pre-synthesis selection of a parity-check code follo...
