Probabilistic regression suites for functional verification
Random test generators are often used to create regression suites on-the-fly. Regression suites are commonly generated by choosing several specifications and generating a number o...

Implicit pseudo boolean enumeration algorithms for input vector control
In a CMOS combinational logic circuit, the subthreshold leakage current in the standby state depends on the state of the inputs. In this paper we present a new approach to identif...

Leakage in nano-scale technologies: mechanisms, impact and design considerations
The high leakage current in nano-meter regimes is becoming a significant portion of power dissipation in CMOS circuits as threshold voltage, channel length, and gate oxide thickne...

Large-scale placement by grid-warping
Grid-warping is a new placement algorithm based on a strikingly simple idea: rather than move the gates to optimize their location, we elastically deform a model of the 2-0 chip s...

Parametric yield estimation considering leakage variability
Leakage current has become a stringent constraint in today’s processor designs in addition to traditional constraints on frequency. Since leakage current exhibits a strong inver...

A new state assignment technique for testing and low power
In order to improve the testabilities and power consumption, a new state assignment technique based on m-block partition is introduced in this paper. The length and number of feed...
