Although the energy required to perform a logic operation has continuously dropped at least by ten orders of magnitude since early vacuumtube electronics [1], the increasing clock ...
We present a model of causality which is defined by the intersection of two distinct closure systems, I and T . To present empirical evidence to demonstrate that this model has pra...
In the design of low power systems, it is important to analyze and optimize both the hardware and the software component of the system. To evaluate the software component of the s...
This paper presents a system to evaluate the testability of an on-line testable circuit. The system operates at the RT-level, before the logic synthesis step, and allows for an ex...
Mixed-signal design and test tools are failing to keep apace with the increasing necessity for design exploration at the e arly stages.We outline a methodolo gy and toolset to ena...
