We investigate appropriate regimes for transmission line propagation of signals on digital integrated circuits. We start from exact solutions to the transmission line equations pr...
Embedded system programs tend to spend much time in small loops. Introducing a very small loop cache into the instruction memory hierarchy has thus been shown to substantially red...
In this paper, we present several novel techniques that make the recently published multilevel routing scheme [19] more effective and complete. Our contributions include: (1) reso...
This paper presents an in-depth study of the theory and algorithms for the SPFD-based (Set of Pairs of Functions to be Distinguished) rewiring, and explores the flexibility in the...
For many years, CMOS process scaling has allowed a steady increase in the operating frequency and integration density of integrated circuits. Only recently, however, have we reach...
This paper describes a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) technique for MPEG decoding to reduce the energy consumption while maintaining a quality of service (QoS) constr...
Abstract—A robust, efficient, and accurate inductance extraction and simulation tool, INDUCTWISE, is developed and described in this paper. This work advances the state-of-the-ar...

We present a new method of built-in-self-test (BIST) for sequential circuits and system-on-a-chip (SOC) using characteristic faults and circuitspecific spectral information in th...
New electronics technologies are emerging which may carry us beyond the limits of lithographic processing down to molecularscale feature sizes. Devices and interconnects can be ma...
