Abstract--More and more embedded systems provide a multitude of services, implemented by a large number of networked hardware components. In early design phases, dimensioning such ...
Clock mesh is popular in high performance VLSI design because it is more robust against variations than clock tree at a cost of higher power consumption. In this paper, we propose ...
State-based model checking methods comprise computing and storing reachable states, while stateless model checking methods directly reason about reachable paths using decision proc...
Extreme technology scaling in silicon devices drastically affects reliability, particularly because of runtime failures induced by transistor wearout. Currently available online t...
Reducing circuit's peak current plays an important role in circuit reliability in deep sub-micron era. For sequential circuits, it is observed that the peak current has a str...
Boolean matching for multiple-output functions determines whether two given (in)completely-specified function vectors can be identical to each other under permutation and/or negat...
A Multivariate Gaussian random number generator (MVGRNG) is an essential block for many hardware designs, including Monte Carlo simulations. These simulations are usually used in a...
