In the past, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) circuits only contained a limited amount of logic and operated at a low frequency. Few applications running on FPGAs consumed exc...
The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) forms the core of the JPEG2000 image compression algorithm. Since the JPEG2000 compression application is heavily data-intensive, the overall ...
Title of thesis: EFFICIENT AND ACCURATE STATISTICAL TIMING ANALYSIS FOR NON-LINEAR NON-GAUSSIAN VARIABILITY WITH INCREMENTAL ATTRIBUTES Ashish Dobhal, Master of Science, 2006 Thes...
As technology scales to 40nm and beyond, intra-die process variability will cause large delay and leakage variations across a chip in addition to expected die-to-die variations. I...

With scaling of CMOS technologies, sub-threshold, gate and reverse biased junction band-to-band-tunneling leakage have increased dramatically. Together they account for more than 2...
Device scaling such as reduced oxide thickness and high electric field has given rise to various reliability concerns. One such growing issue of concern is the degradation of PMOS...
