Previous results show that both flat and hierarchical methodologies present obstacles to effectively completing combinational equivalence checking. A new approach that combines th...

Starting from a model of the within-die systematic variations using principal components analysis, a model is proposed for estimation of the parametric yield, and is then applied ...
Extensible processors, which allow customization for an application domain by extending the core instruction set architecture, are becoming increasingly popular for embedded syste...
In this paper, we formulate symmetry detection for incompletely specified functions as an equation without using cofactor computation and equivalence checking. Based on this equat...
Logic duplication, a commonly used synthesis technique to remove trapped inverters in reconvergent paths of Domino circuits, incurs high area and power penalties. In this paper, w...
