With aggressive gate oxide scaling, latent defects in the gate oxide manifest as traps that, in time, lead to gate oxide breakdown. Progressive gate oxide breakdown, also referred...
— Pattern recognition has many applications in design automation. A generalized pattern recognition algorithm is presented in this paper which can efficiently extract similar pat...
—In this paper we study the effectiveness of two power gating methods – transistor switches and MEMS switches – in reducing the power consumption of a design with a certain t...
—Fault tolerance (FT) has become a major concern in computing systems. Instruction duplication has been proposed to verify application execution at run time. Two techniques, inst...
— Though tag bits in the data caches are vulnerable to transient errors, few effort has been made to reduce their vulnerability. In this paper, we propose to exploit prevalent sa...
Modern FPGAs have been designed with advanced integrated circuit techniques that allow high speed and low power performance, joined to reconfiguration capabilities. This makes new...
