Stepwise refinement is at the core of many approaches to synthesis and optimization of hardware and software systems. For instance, it can be used to build a synthesis approach for...
Due to the recent advances in microfluidics, digital microfluidic biochips are expected to revolutionize laboratory procedures. One critical problem for biochip synthesis is the dr...
This paper solves the variation-aware on-chip decoupling capacitance (decap) budgeting problem. Unlike previous work assuming the worst-case current load, we develop a novel stocha...
Abstract: Polynomial computations over fixed-size bitvectors are found in many practical datapath designs. For efficient RTL synthesis, it is important to identify good decompositi...
