We present a novel technique for Sequential Equivalence Checking (SEC) between non-cycle-accurate designs. The problem is routinely encountered in verifying the correctness of a s...
Transient faults due to particle strikes are a key challenge in microprocessor design. Driven by exponentially increasing transistor counts, per-chip faults are a growing burden. ...

Scenarios are powerful tools to model and analyze software systems. However, since they do not provide a complete description of the system, but just some possible execution paths,...
In 2002, Japan announced the Earth Simulator—a supercomputer based on low-volume vector processors and a custom network—and reported that computational scientists had used it ...
There is a growing need for accurate power models at the system level. Memory structures such as caches, Branch Target Buffers (BTBs), and register files occupy significant area i...
