Future SoCs will contain multiple cores. For workloads with significant parallelism, prior work has shown the benefit of many small, multi-threaded, scalar cores. For workloads th...
A fundamental problem in timing-driven physical synthesis is the reduction of critical paths in a design. In this work, we propose a powerful new technique that moves (and can als...

Design-time decisions can often only cover certain scenarios and fail in efficiency when hard-to-predict system scenarios occur. This drives the development of run-time adaptive s...
With the growing number of programmable processing elements in today's MultiProcessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) designs, the synergy required for the development of the hardware...

Compared with on-chip routers, the existing commercial tools for off-chip routing have a much lower routability and often result in a large number of unrouted nets for manual rout...

In the design of complex power distribution networks (PDN) with multiple power islands, it is required that the PDN represents a low impedance as seen by the digital modules. This...
Recently, processor power density has been increasing at an alarming rate resulting in high on-chip temperature. Higher temperature increases current leakage and causes poor relia...
Extensive software-based simulation continues to be the mainstream methodology for functional verification of designs. To optimize the use of limited simulation resources, coverag...

Many recent techniques for timing analysis under variability, in which delay is an explicit function of underlying parameters, may be described as parameterized timing analysis. T...
