3D packaging via System-On-Package (SOP) is a viable alternative to System-On-Chip (SOC) to meet the rigorous requirements of today’s mixed signal system integration. In this wo...
In this paper we propose an FPGA implementation of a multi protocol Weighted Fair (WF) queuing algorithm able to handle variable length packets targeted for Packet Over Sonet (POS...
As timing requirements in today’s advanced VLSI designs become more aggressive, the need for automated tools to diagnose timing failures increases. This work presents two such a...

The ever-increasing number of transistors on a chip has resulted in very large scale integration (VLSI) systems whose performance and manufacturing costs are driven by on-chip wir...
This paper approaches statistical optimization by examining gate delay variation models and optimization objectives. Most previous work on statistical optimization has focused exc...

The instruction cache is a popular target for optimizations of microprocessor-based systems because of the cache’s high impact on system performance and power, and because of th...
In this paper we develop a theory of equivalence checking (EC) and logic synthesis of circuits with a common specification (CS). We show that two combinational circuits N1, N2 have...
Energy recovery clocking results in significant energy savings in clock distribution networks as compared to conventional squarewave clocking. However, since energy recovery clock...

We present simulations for ultra-thin body, fully-depleted, double-gate (DG) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices that can be readily optimized for both static power loss and perfor...
