Power consumption has been the primary issue in processor design, with various power reduction strategies being adopted from system-level to circuitlevel. In order to develop a po...
Weaknesses have recently been found in the widely used cryptographic hash functions SHA-1 and MD5. A potential alternative for these algorithms is the Whirlpool hash function, whi...
This paper presents a design methodology that was applied to the design of a 2.4GHz dual-core SPARC64TM microprocessor with 90nm CMOS technology. It focuses on the newly adopted t...
Verification is one of the most critical and time-consuming tasks in today's design processes. This paper demonstrates the verification process of a 8.8 million gate design u...
