: Advanced architectural features of microprocessors like instruction level parallelism and pipelined functional hardware units require code generation techniques beyond the scope ...
Functional unit shutdown based on MTCMOS devices is effective for leakage reduction in aggressively scaled technologies. However, the applicability of MTCMOS-based shutdown in a s...

Separate optimizations of logic and layout have been thoroughly studied in the past and are well documented for common benchmarks. However, to be competitive, modern circuit optim...
In this paper we present an advanced functional extraction tool for automatic generation of high-level RTL from switch-level circuit netlist representation. The tool is called FEV...
Netlist partitioning is an important and well studied problem. In this paper, a linear time partitioning approach based on iterative deletion is presented. We use the partitioning...
