—Distributed systems, especially time-triggered ones, are implementing clock synchronization algorithms to provide and maintain a common view of time among the different nodes. S...
Abstract—To accommodate the growing number of applications integrated on a single chip, Networks on Chip (NoC) must offer scalability not only on the architectural, but also on t...
— An increasing number of hardware failures can be attributed to device reliability problems that cause partial system failure or shutdown. In this paper we propose a scheme for ...
—We investigate restructuring techniques based on decomposition/factorization, with the objective to move critical signals toward the output while minimizing area. A specific ap...

Abstract—Caches often employ write-back instead of writethrough, since write-back avoids unnecessary transfers for multiple writes to the same block. For several reasons, however...
Violations in memory references cause tremendous loss of productivity, catastrophic mission failures, loss of privacy and security, and much more. Software mechanisms to detect me...
—Accurate timing analysis is crucial for obtaining the optimal clock frequency, and for other design stages such as power analysis. Most methods for estimating propagation delay ...
There is a growing concern about timing errors resulting from design marginalities and the effects of circuit aging on speed-paths in logic circuits. This paper presents a low ove...
