— The enhanced packing densities facilitated by 3D integrated circuit technology also has an unwanted side-effect, in the form of increasing the amount of current per unit footpr...
The Leading Zero Anticipator (LZA) is one of the main components used in floating point addition. It tends to be on the critical path, so it has attracted the attention of many r...

— Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) is a leading reliability concern for integrated circuits (ICs). It gradually increases the threshold voltages of PMOS transistors, ...
—Reversible logic studies have promising potential on energy lossless circuit design, quantum computation, nanotechnology, etc. Reversible logic features a one-to-one input outpu...
—In network-on-chip, computing worst-case delay bound for packet delivery is crucial for designing predictable systems but yet an intractable problem due to complicated resource ...
- The power gating technique is useful in reducing standby leakage current, but it increases the gate delay. For a functional unit, its maximum allowable delay (for a target clock ...
— Power distribution networks (PDNs) are designed and analyzed iteratively. Random walk is among the most efficient methods for PDN analysis. We develop in this paper an increme...
