Previous research has shown both theoretically and practically that simulated annealing can greatly benefit from the incorporation of an adaptive range limiting window to control ...
We present applications of a recently developed automated nonlinear macromodelling approach to the important problem of macromodelling high-speed output buffers/drivers. Good nonl...
In this work, we propose a new paradigm called power emulation, which exploits hardware acceleration to drastically speedup power estimation. Power emulation is based on the obser...
Lowering power is one of the greatest challenges facing the IC industry today. We present a power-aware placement method that simultaneously performs (1) activity-based register c...

Dual-execution/checkpointing based transient error tolerance techniques have been widely used in the high-end mission critical systems. These techniques, however, are not very att...
In the design of highly complex, heterogeneous, and concurrent systems, deadlock detection and resolution remains an important issue. In this paper, we systematically analyze the ...

In this paper, we present a method for analyzing the leakage current, and hence the leakage power, of a circuit under process parameter variations that can include spatial correla...
: Due to exponential increase in subthreshold leakage with technology scaling and temperature increase, leakage power is becoming a major fraction of total power in the active mode...
