This paper describes a simple and effective quadratic placement algorithm called RQL. We show that a good quadratic placement, followed by local wirelength-driven spreading can pr...

A protocol for latency-insensitive design with early evaluation is presented. The protocol is based on a symmetric view of the system in which tokens carrying information move in ...
Asynchronous circuits are increasingly attractive as low power or high-performance replacements to synchronous designs. A key part of these circuits are asynchronous micropipeline...
Storage plays a pivotal role in the performance of many applications. Optimizing disk architectures is a design-time as well as a run-time issue and requires balancing between per...
Minimizing power consumption is vitally important in embedded system design; power consumption determines battery lifespan. Ultralow-power designs may even permit embedded systems...

Packet-switched networks on chip (NoC) have been advocated as a natural communication mechanism among the processing cores in future chip multiprocessors (CMP). However, electroni...
In this paper, we propose TROY, the first track router with yield-driven wire planning to optimize yield loss due to random defects. As the probability of failure (POF) computed f...
