A comprehensive probabilistic methodology is proposed to solve the buffer insertion problem with the consideration of process variations. In contrast to a recent work, we point o...
— Ubiquitous image processing tasks (such as transform decompositions, filtering and motion estimation) do not currently provide graceful degradation when their clock-cycles budg...
Traditionally, analytic placement used linear or quadratic wirelength objective functions. Minimizing either formulation attracts cells sharing common signals (nets) together. The...
In this paper we investigate optimal voltage testing approaches for physically-based faults in CMOS circuits. We describe the general nature of the problem and then focus on two f...
The BIST implementation of a conventionally synthesized controller in most cases requires the integration of an additional register only for test purposes. This leads to some seri...
