Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) are a data structure for representation and manipulation of Boolean functions which are frequently used in VLSI Design Automation. ...
The reusing of Intellectual Property cores has been an alternative to the increasing gap between design productivity and chip complexity of emerging System-on-chip (SoC) designs. ...
Abstract--Reservation Tables (RTs) have long been used to detect conflicts between operations that simultaneously access the same architectural resource. Traditionally, these RTs h...

† This paper describes a novel methodology to automate the design of the interconnect distribution for multistage clock circuits. We introduce two key ideas. First, a hierarchica...
We present techniques for estimating switching activity and power consumption in register-transfer level (RTL) circuits. Previous work on this topic has ignored the presence of gl...
