Software energy estimation is a critical step in the design of energyefficient embedded systems. Instruction-level simulation techniques, despite several advances, remain too slo...
Reliability of nanometer circuits is becoming a major concern in today’s VLSI chip design due to interferences from multiple noise sources as well as radiation-induced soft erro...
In many of embedded systems, particularly for those with high data computations, the delay of memory access is one of the major bottlenecks in the system's performance. It ha...
The challenge of verifying a modern microprocessor design is an overwhelming one: Increasingly complex micro-architectures combined with heavy time-to-market pressure have forced ...
Device optimization considering supply voltage Vdd and threshold voltage Vt tuning does not increase chip area but has a great impact on power and performance in the nanometer tec...
