As technology enters the nanometer territory, the antenna effect plays an important role in determining the yield and reliability of a VLSI circuit. Diode insertion and jumper in...
Early evaluation allows to execute operations when enough information at the inputs has been received to determine the value at the outputs. Systems that can tolerate variable-lat...
Soft-core programmable processors on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) can be custom synthesized to instantiate only those hardware units, such as multipliers and floating-po...

In this paper, we study the interdependency between leakage energy and chip temperature in real-time systems. We observe that the temperature variation on chip has a large impact ...
Power consumption is a crucial concern in nanometer chip design. Researchers have shown that multiple supply voltage (MSV) is an effective method for power consumption reduction....
An optimization algorithm for the design of combinational circuits that are robust to single-event upsets (SEUs) is described. A simple, highly accurate model for the SEU robustne...
