Adders are some of the most critical data path circuits requiring considerable design effort in order to "squeeze" out as much performance gain as possible. Many adder d...
Concurrent error detection (CED) techniques (based on hardware duplication, parity codes, etc.) are widely used to enhance system dependability. All CED techniques introduce some ...
For deep sub-micron system-on-chips (SoC), interconnects are critical determinants of performance, reliability and power. Buses and long interconnects being susceptible to crossta...
This paper describes a technique for re-ordering of scan cells to minimize power dissipation that is also capable of reducing the area overhead of the circuit compared to a random...
Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI), a PMOS aging phenomenon causing significant loss on circuit performance and lifetime, has become a critical challenge for temporal re...
Increasing the number of cores in a multi-core processor reduces per-core performance. On the other hand, providing more resources to each core limits the number of cores on a chi...
