This paper presents a modular optimization framework for custom digital circuits in the power – performance space. The method uses a static timer and a nonlinear optimizer to max...
Formal methods have been advocated for the verification of digital design where correctness is proved mathematically. In contrast to digital designs, the verification of analog ...
Improvements in semiconductor integration density and the resulting problem of having to manage designs of increasing complexity is an old one, but still current. The new challeng...
The functional validation of a state-of-the-art digital design is usually performed by simulation of a register-transfer-level model. The degree to which the testvector suite cove...
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...
