Asynchronous circuits operate correctly only under timing assumptions. Hence testing those circuits for delay faults is crucial. This paper describes a three-step method to detect...

We introduce a novel cut-based debugging paradigm. It coordinates design emulation and simulation and enables fast transition from one to another. Emulation or functional implemen...
We developed a new hierarchical modular approach for synthesis of area-minimal core-based data-intensive systems. The optimization approach employs a novel global least-constraini...
Abstract — The principles employed in the development of modern RF simulators are introduced and the various techniques currently in use, or expected to be in use in the next few...
This paper is concerned with approximate delay computation algorithms for combinational circuits. As a result of intensive research in the early 90’s [3, 8] efficient tools exi...

- Task preemption is a critical enabling mechanism in multi-task VLSI systems. On preemption, data in the register les must be preserved in order for the task to be resumed. This e...
Presynthesis optimizations transform a behavioral HDL description into an optimized HDL description that results in improved synthesis results. In this paper we introduce the decom...
A power estimation approach is presented in which blocks of consecutive vectors are selected at random from a user-supplied realistic input vector set and the circuit is simulated...
We present a new matrix formulation of the face hypercube embedding problem that motivates the design of an efficient search strategy to find an encoding that satisfies all fac...
