Thermal management in microprocessors has become a major design challenge in recent years. Thermal monitoring through hardware sensors is important, and these sensors must be care...
As CMOS technology scales deeper into the nanometer regime, factors such as leakage power and chip temperature emerge as critically important concerns for VLSI design. This paper,...
In this paper, we propose a diagnostic test generation method in conjunction with an efficient sequential SAT-based diagnosis procedure to precisely identify multiple defective si...
Energy dissipation from the issue queue and register file constitutes a large portion of the overall energy budget of an aggressive dynamically scheduled microprocessor. We propo...
The implementation of interconnect is becoming a significant challenge in modern IC design. Both synchronous and asynchronous strategies have been suggested to manage this problem...
