With the end of clock-frequency scaling, parallelism has emerged as the key driver of chip-performance growth. Yet, several factors undermine efficient simultaneous use of onchip ...
Effective system verification requires good specifications. The lack of sufficient specifications can lead to misses of critical bugs, design re-spins, and time-to-market slips. I...
The level of security provided by digital rights management functions and cryptographic protocols depend heavily on the security of an embedded secret key. The current practice of...
The emerging three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) is beneficial for various applications from both area and performance perspectives. While the general trend in processor...
Research on Networks on Chips (NoCs) has spanned over a decade and its results are now visible in some products. Thus the seminal idea of using networking technology to address th...
