The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
Non-trivial linear straight-line programs over the Galois field of two elements occur frequently in applications such as encryption or high-performance computing. Finding the shor...
As power consumption of the clock tree dominates over 40% of the total power in modern high performance VLSI designs, measures must be taken to keep it under control. One of the m...
We describe an architectural design space exploration methodology that minimizes the energy dissipation of digital circuits. The centerpiece of our methodology is a Verilog-based ...
An automated design procedure is described for synthesizing circuits with low power concurrent error detection. It is based on pre-synthesis selection of a parity-check code follo...
