— Process variations in digital circuits make sequential circuit timing validation an extremely challenging task. In this paper, a Statistical Bellman-Ford (SBF) algorithm is pro...
Abstract— The amount of energy consumed for interconnecting the IP-blocks is increasing significantly due to the suboptimal scaling of long wires. To limit this energy penalty, ...

–Architectures with multiple programmable cores are becoming more attractive for video codec applications because they can provide highly concurrent computation and support multi...
Abstract— Substantial attention is being paid to the fault diagnosis problem in recent test literature. Yet, the compaction of test vectors for fault diagnosis is little explored...
