Verification is one of the most complex and expensive tasks in the current Systems-on-Chip (SOC) design process. Many existing approaches employ a bottom-up approach to pipeline v...
With the increasing clock rate and transistor count of today's microprocessors, power dissipation is becoming a critical component of system design complexity. Thermal and po...
It is believed that masking is an effective countermeasure against power analysis attacks: before a certain operation involving a key is performed in a cryptographic chip, the inpu...
Non-uniform utilization of functional units in combination with hardware mechanisms such as clock gating leads to different power consumptions in different parts of a processor ch...
—Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) provides power savings for systems with varying performance requirements. One low overhead implementation of DVS uses PMOS power switches to connec...
