The "direct product code" of a function f gives its values on all k-tuples (f(x1), . . . , f(xk)). This basic construct underlies "hardness amplification" in c...

As silicon technologies move into the nanometer regime, transistor reliability is expected to wane as devices become subject to extreme process variation, particle-induced transie...

—In this paper, we present a new block budgeting algorithm which speeds up timing closure in timing driven hierarchical flows. After a brief description of the addressed flow, ...
The Nearest Codeword Problem (NCP) is a basic algorithmic question in the theory of error-correcting codes. Given a point v ∈ Fn 2 and a linear space L ⊆ Fn 2 of dimension k NC...
—A simple averaging argument shows that given a randomized algorithm A and a function f such that for every input x, Pr[A(x) = f(x)] ≥ 1−ρ (where the probability is over the...
