We present a vector selection methodology for estimating the peak power dissipation in a CMOS logic circuit. The ultimate goal is to combine the speed of RT-level simulation with ...
The clock tree is the interconnect net on Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) with the heaviest load and consumes up to 40% of the overall power budget. Substantial savings of the overall powe...

Current source based cell models are becoming a necessity for accurate timing and noise analysis at 65nm and below. Voltage waveform shapes are increasingly more difficult to repr...
Researchers have proposed using hardware data compression units within the memory hierarchies of microprocessors in order to improve performance, energy efficiency, and functional...
