Manufacturing process variability impacts the performance of synchronous logic circuits by means of its effect on both clock network and functional block delays. Typically, varia...
Abstract. The large and growing impact of memory hierarchies on overall system performance compels designers to investigate innovative techniques to improve memory-system efficienc...
As integrated circuits become more and more complex, the ability to make post-fabrication changes will become more and more attractive. This ability can be realized using programm...
Multicore is now the dominant processor trend, and the number of cores is rapidly increasing. The paradigm shift to multicore forces the redesign of the software stack, which incl...
Effective system verification requires good specifications. The lack of sufficient specifications can lead to misses of critical bugs, design re-spins, and time-to-market slips. I...
