In this paper, we present DeFer -- a fast, high-quality and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a non-slicing floorplan by compacting a slicing fl...
Temperature hot-spots have been known to cause severe reliability problems and to significantly increase leakage power. The register file has been previously shown to exhibit the ...
In this paper, a novel automatic approach for the concurrent topology and routing optimization that achieves a high quality network layout is proposed. This optimization is based ...
Achieving high performance under a peak temperature limit is a first-order concern for VLSI designers. This paper presents a new model of a thermally-managed system, where a stoch...
: Spin-Torque Transfer Magnetic RAM (STT MRAM) is a promising candidate for future universal memory. It combines the desirable attributes of current memory technologies such as SRA...

Concurrent interaction of multi-processor systems result in errors which are difficult to find. Traditional simulationbased verification techniques remove the concurrency informat...
An effective technique to save power during scan based test is to switch off unused scan chains. The results obtained with this method strongly depend on the mapping of scan flip-...
