Systems integration is a major challenge in many industries. Systematic analysis of the complex integration effects, especially with respect to timing and performance, significant...
Mesh architectures are used to distribute critical global signals on a chip, such as clock and power/ground. Redundancy created by mesh loops smooths out undesirable variations be...
Soft errors have emerged as an important reliability challenge for nanoscale VLSI designs. In this paper, we present a fast and efficient soft error rate (SER) computation algorit...

Multitasking on reconfigurable logic can achieve very high silicon reusability. However, configuration latency is a major limitation and it can largely degrade the system performa...
Modeling systems based on semi-formal graphical formalisms, such as Statecharts, has become standard practice in the design of reactive embedded devices. However, the modeling of ...
Transparent-scan was proposed as an approach to test generation and test compaction for scan circuits. Its effectiveness was demonstrated earlier in reducing the test application ...
