Processors have traditionally been designed for the worst-case, resulting in designs that have high yields, but are expensive in terms of area and power. Better-than-worst-case (B...
On-chip communication, including short, often-multicast, latency-critical coherence and synchronization messages, and long, unicast, throughput-sensitive data transfer, limits the...

The delay fault test pattern set generated by timing unaware commercial ATPG tools mostly affects very short paths, thereby increasing the escape chance of smaller delay defects. ...
Abstract--In this paper, we propose track routing and optimization for yield (TROY), the first track router for the optimization of yield loss due to random defects. As the probabi...
Power consumption has gained much saliency in circuit design recently. One design problem is modelled as ”Under a timing constraint, to minimize power as much as possible”. Pr...
