— We introduce a transformation, named rephasing, that manipulates the timing parameters in control-data-flow graphs (CDFG’s) during the high-level synthesis of data-pathinten...
None of the available minimizers for 2-level hazard-free logic minimization can synthesize very large circuits. This limitation has forced researchers to resort to manual and auto...
Chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) and other manufacturing steps in very deep submicron VLSI have varying effects on device and interconnect features, depending on local character...

As very large scale integration (VLSI) circuit speed rapidly increases, the inductive effects of interconnect lines strongly impact the signal integrity of a circuit. Since these i...

In this paper, an instruction-level energy model is proposed for the data-path of very long instruction word (VLIW) pipelined processors that can be used to provide accurate power ...
