As the power consumption of modern highperformance microprocessors increases beyond 100W, power becomes an increasingly important design consideration. This paper presents a novel...
Abstract—Parameter variations have become a dominant challenge in microprocessor design. Voltage variation is especially daunting because it happens so rapidly. We measure and ch...

We present a Mutation-based Validation Paradigm (MVP) technology that can handle complete high-level microprocessor implementations and is based on explicit design error modeling, ...
Modern digital IC designs have a critical operating point, or "wall of slack", that limits voltage scaling. Even with an errortolerance mechanism, scaling voltage below a...

As the "system-on-a-chip" concept is rapidly becoming a reality, time-to-market and product complexity push the reuse of complex macromodules. Circuits combining a varie...
