Abstract—The slack time in real-time systems can be used by recovery schemes to increase system reliability as well as by frequency and voltage scaling techniques to save energy....
Most existing buffering algorithms neglect the impact of inductance on circuit performance, which causes large error in circuit analysis and optimization. Even for the approaches...
With semiconductor fabrication technologies scaled below 100 nm, the design-manufacturing interface becomes more and more complicated. The resultant process variability causes a nu...
