Adaptive techniques like voltage and frequency scaling, process variations and the randomness of input data contribute signi cantly to the statistical aspect of contemporary hardwa...
Abstract--Networks-on-Chip (NoC) have emerged as a replacement for traditional shared-bus designs for on-chip communications. As with all current VLSI designs, however, reducing po...

Soft error reliability is increasingly becoming a first-order design concern for microprocessors, as a result of higher transistor counts, shrinking device geometries and lowering ...
This study focuses on motion in user interfaces as a design element which can contribute to an improved user experience of digital media entertainment. The design for user experien...
In 3D integrated circuits through silicon vias (TSVs) are used to connect different dies stacked on top of each other. These TSV occupy silicon area and have significantly larger a...

One of the more popular placement algorithms for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is called Simulated Annealing (SA). This algorithm tries to create a good quality placement ...
In the domain of desktop software, design patterns have had a profound impact; they are applied ubiquitously across a broad range of applications. Patterns serve both to promulgat...
