Guarded evaluation is a power reduction technique that involves identifying sub-circuits (within a larger circuit) whose inputs can be held constant (guarded) at specific times d...
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...
This paper considers the problem of altering an image by imperceptibly adding or removing pixels, for example, to fit a differently shaped frame with minimal loss of interesting ...
