—Functional simulation is still the primary workhorse for verifying the functional correctness of hardware designs. Functional verification is necessarily incomplete because it i...
We present a methodology for the design and analysis of power grids in the PowerPC™ microprocessors. The methodology covers the need for power grid analysis across all stages of...

This papers describes a new, fast and economical methodology to test linear analog circuits based on adaptive algorithms. To the authors knowledge, this is the first time such tec...
Successive, formal refinement is a new approach for specification of embedded systems using a general-purpose programming language. Systems are formally modeled as Abstractable Sy...
