An effective thermal management scheme, called active bank switching, for temperature control in the register file of a microprocessor is presented. The idea is to divide the phys...
We describe an efficient, top-down strategy for overlap removal and floorplan repair which repairs overlaps in floorplans produced by placement algorithms or rough floorplanni...

Parallel counters are key elements in many arithmetic circuits, especially fast multipliers. In this paper, novel architectures and designs for high speed, low power (3, 2), (7, 3...
A probabilistic power estimation technique for combinational circuits is presented. A novel set of simple waveforms is the kernel of this technique. The transition density of each...

- The Multi-Threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) technology has become a popular technique for standby power reduction. This technology utilizes high-Vth sleep transistors to reduce subthreshol...
We present new timing and congestion driven FPGA placement algorithms with minimal runtime overhead. By predicting the post-routing critical edges and estimating congestion accura...
In this paper, we propose a new design methodology to assess the risk for side-channel attacks, more specifically timing analysis and simple power analysis, at an early design st...
