In this paper we describe a stochastic integral equation method for computing the mean value and the variance of capacitance of interconnects with random surface roughness. An ens...
Abstract—The slack time in real-time systems can be used by recovery schemes to increase system reliability as well as by frequency and voltage scaling techniques to save energy....
— A radiation hardening technique for combinational logic circuits is described. The key idea is to exploit the asymmetric logical masking probabilities of gates, hardening gates...
— Cycle-accurate functional descriptions (CAFDs) are being widely adopted in integrated circuit (IC) design flows. Power estimation can potentially benefit from the inherent in...

It has been widely recognized that the dynamic range information of an application can be exploited to reduce the datapath bitwidth of either processors or ASICs, and therefore th...
Self-calibrating designs are gaining momentum in both the computation and communication worlds. Instead of relying on the worst-case characterisation of design parameters, self-ca...
We address the classic wire-length estimation problem and propose a new statistical wire-length estimation approach that captures the probability distribution function of net leng...

Improving logic capacity by time-sharing, dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs are employed to handle designs of high complexity and functionality. In this paper, we model each task ...
Ana/ytic placement methods that simultaneously minimize wire length and spread cells are receiving renewedattention from both academia and industiy In thispaper we describe the im...
