The idea of Force-Directed Scheduling (FDS) was first introduced by Paulin and Knight to minimize the number of resources required in the high-level synthesis of high-throughput A...
Recently, intellectual property protection (IPP) techniques attracted a great deal of attention from semiconductor, system integration and software companies. A number of watermar...
Image computation is the key step in fixpoint computations that are extensively used in model checking. Two techniques have been used for this step: one based on conjunction of the...

We recently introduced symbolic timing simulation (STS) using data-dependent delays as a tool for verifying the timing of fullcustom transistor-level circuit designs, and for the ...
Due to the large die sizes and tight relative clock skew margins, the impact of interconnect manufacturing variations on the clock skew in today's gigahertz microprocessors c...
