A novel routing algorithm, namely dynamic XY (DyXY) routing, is proposed for NoCs to provide adaptive routing and ensure deadlock-free and livelock-free routing at the same time. ...
Microfluidics-based biochips, also referred to as lab-on-a-chip (LoC), are devices that integrate fluid-handling functions such as sample preparation, analysis, separation, and de...
Several emerging Design-for-Debug (DFD) methodologies are addressing silicon debug by making internal signal values and other data observable. Most of these methodologies require ...
A hierarchical power distribution methodology that enables more than dozen power domains in a chip and a power management scheme using 20 power domains are described. This method ...
The fabless model was traditionally enabled through clean interfaces – both in technical and business terms – between foundries and fabless semiconductor companies. However, w...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the modulation of choice for broadband wireless communications. Unfortunately, it comes at the cost of a very low energy effic...
We present a novel application for carbon nanotube devices, implementing a high density 3-D capacitor, which can be useful for decoupling applications to reduce supply voltage var...
