When VLSI technology scales toward 45nm, the lithography wavelength stays at 193nm. This large gap results in strong refractive effects in lithography. Consequently, it is a huge...
Power-related issues have become important considerations in current generation microprocessor design. One of these issues is that of elevated on-chip temperatures. This has an ad...
We analyze the effect of thermal constraints on the performance and power of multi-core processors. We propose system-level power and thermal models, and derive expressions for (a...

We propose a new low-power SRAM using bit-line Charge Recycling (CR-SRAM) for the write operation. In the proposed write scheme, differential voltage swing of a bit-line is obtain...
This paper presents a power reduction mechanism for the write operation in register files (RegFiles), which adds a conditional charge-sharing structure to the pair of complementar...
Data-flow has proven to be an attractive computation model for programming digital signal processing (DSP) applications. A restricted version of data-flow, termed synchronous data...

Recent research has proposed security-critical real-time embedded systems with provably-strong information containment through the use of hardware-enforced execution leases. Execut...
