: The direct result of shrinking devices is not only higher densities but also increased switching activity and thus higher device temperatures. The variation in temperature over t...

NBTI (Negative Bias Temperature Instability) has emerged as the dominant PMOS device failure mechanism for sub100nm VLSI designs. There is little research to quantify its impact o...
Logic duplication, a commonly used synthesis technique to remove trapped inverters in reconvergent paths of Domino circuits, incurs high area and power penalties. In this paper, w...
We consider the fundamental operation of applying a conjunction of selection conditions to a set of records. With large main memories available cheaply, systems may choose to keep...
As feature sizes decrease and chip sizes increase, the area and performance of chips become dominated by the interconnect. In spite of this trend, most existing synthesis systems ...
