NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability) has emerged as the dominant failure mechanism for PMOS in nanometer IC designs. However, its impact on one of the most important compo...
This paper proposes optimizations of the methods and parameters used in both mathematical approximation and hardware design for logarithmic number system (LNS) arithmetic. First, ...
In this paper we present a number of augmented refrigerator magnet concepts. The concepts are shown to be derived from previous research into the everyday use of fridge surfaces. ...

This paper proposes two new methods for optimizing objectives and constraints. The GP approach is very general and hardware resources in finite wordlength implementation of it allo...
The management of shared caches in multicore processors is a critical and challenging task. Many hardware and OS-based methods have been proposed. However, they may be hardly adop...
