We apply constraint posting to the problem of reasoning about function from structure. Constraint posting is a technique used by some planners to coordinate decisions. At each dec...
One of the most challenging problems in post-silicon validation is to identify those errors that cause prohibitive extra delay on speedpaths in the circuit under debug (CUD) and o...
For a computing system to be trusted, it is equally important to verify that the system performs no more and no less functionalities than desired. Traditional testing and verifica...
Abstract— As VLSI technology enters the ultra-deep submicron era, wire coupling capacitance starts to dominate self capacitance and can no longer be neglected in timing driven ro...
The thermal problem has been emerged as one of the key issues for next-generation IC design. In this paper, we propose a scheme to achieve better thermal distribution for partitio...
