Soft errors in combinational and sequential elements of digital circuits are an increasing concern as a result of technology scaling. Several techniques for gate and latch hardeni...
The ever increasing sizes of on-chip caches and the growing domination of wire delay necessitate significant changes to cache hierarchy design methodologies. Many recent proposal...
In this paper, we observe that minimum energy Emin of subthreshold logic dramatically increases when reaching 45 nm node. We demonstrate by circuit simulation and analytical model...

Energy, power, and area efficiency are critical design concerns for embedded processors. Much of the energy of a typical embedded processor is consumed in the front-end since inst...
This paper shows that the evolutionary design of digital circuits which is conducted at the gate level is able to produce human-competitive circuits at the transistor level. In ad...
