Efficient system-level design is increasingly relying on hierarchical design-space exploration, as well as compositional methods, to shorten time-to-market, leverage design re-use...
This paper suggests that the thermal state of a processor can be approximated using data flow analysis. The results of this analysis can be used to evaluate the efficacy of therma...
In this study, we apply a novel synthesis technique for implementing robust digital computation in nanoscale lattices with random interconnects: percolation theory on random graph...
Electronic design automation is a field replete with challenging ? and often intractable ? problems to be solved over very large instances. As a result, the field of design automa...
Semiconductor design companies are in a continuous search for design tools that address the ever increasing chip design complexity coupled with strict time-to-market schedules and...
Recent improvements in design verification strive to automate error detection and greatly enhance engineers' ability to detect functional errors. However, the process of diag...
Emerging organic light-emitting diode (OLED)-based displays obviate external lighting; and consume drastically different power when displaying different colors, due to their emiss...
