Abstract—Buffer resizing and buffer insertion are two transformation techniques for the performance optimization of elastic systems. Different approaches for each technique have ...
— VLIW processors provide higher performance and better efficiency etc. than RISC processors in specific domains like multimedia applications etc. A disadvantage is the bloated...
In double patterning lithography (DPL) layout decomposition for 45nm and below process nodes, two features must be assigned opposite colors (corresponding to different exposures)...

— In today’s VLSI designs, there can be many blockages in a routing region. The obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimum tree (OARSMT) problem has become an important prob...
—SystemC is a system-level modeling language that offers a wide range of features to describe concurrent systems rent levels of abstraction. The SystemC standard permits simulato...
Functional decomposition is a fundamental operation in logic synthesis. Prior BDD-based approaches to functional decomposition suffer from the memory explosion problem and do not...

—When manufacturing nano-devices, defects are a certainty and reliability becomes a critical issue. Until now, the most pervasive methods used to address reliability, involve inj...
Abstract— Process variations make at-speed testing significantly more difficult. They cause subtle delay changes that are distributed rather than the localized nature of a trad...
