Meeting timing constraint is one of the most important issues for modern design automation tools. This situation is exacerbated with the existence of process variation. Current hi...
Large-scale process fluctuations in nano-scale IC technologies suggest applying high-order (e.g., quadratic) response surface models to capture the circuit performance variations....

In this paper we propose a RObust Analog Design tool (ROAD) for post-tuning analog/RF circuits. Starting from an initial design derived from hand analysis or analog circuit synthe...

Application-specific instructions can significantly improve the performance, energy, and code size of configurable processors. A common approach used in the design of such instruc...
We propose a new paradigm for building scalable distributed systems. Our approach does not require dealing with message-passing protocols—a major complication in existing distri...
