Performance models for Network-on-Chip (NoC) are essential for design, optimization and Quality of Service (QoS) assurance. Classical queueing theory has been often used to provid...
As CMOS devices are scaled down into the nanometer regime, concerns about reliability are mounting. Instead of viewing nanoscale characteristics as an impediment, technologies suc...

As VLSI technology reaches 45nm technology node, leakage power optimization has become a major design challenge. Threshold voltage (vt) assignment has been extensively studied, du...
Current logic synthesis techniques are ineffective for arithmetic circuits. They perform poorly for XOR-dominated circuits, and those with a high fan-in dependency between inputs ...
The problem of calculating accurate impact of crosstalk on a circuit considering its inherent logic and timing properties is very complex. Although it has been widely studied, it ...

A generalized Hamiltonian method (GHM) is proposed for passivity test of descriptor systems (DSs) which describe impedance or admittance input-output responses. GHM can test passi...
We propose a layout-driven test-architecture design and optimization technique for core-based system-on-chips (SoCs) that are fabricated using three-dimensional (3D) integration. ...
