The many levels of metal used in aggressive deep submicron process technologies has made fast and accurate capacitance extraction of complicated 3-D geometries of conductors essen...
The concept of improving the timing behavior of a circuit by relocating registers is called retiming and was first presented by Leiserson and Saxe. They showed that the problem of...

This paper presents a methodology for cycle-accurate simulation of energy dissipation in embedded systems. The ARM Ltd. 1 instruction-level cycle-accurate simulator is extended wi...
In embedded system design, the designer has to choose an onchip memory configuration that is suitable for a specific application. To aid in this design choice, we present a memory...
Software synthesis from a concurrent functional specification is a key problem in the design of embedded systems. A concurrent specification is well-suited for medium-grained part...
Recently, a number of watermarking-based intellectual property protection techniques have been proposed. Although they have been applied to different stages in the design process ...
