Designing temperature-aware microarchitectures for microprocessors at new technologies is becoming a critical requirement due to the exponentially increasing on-chip power density...
As technology scales, power consumption and thermal effects have become challenges for system-on-chip designers. The rising on-chip temperatures can have negative impacts on SoC p...

Content Addressable Memories (CAM) are widely used for the tag portions in highly associative caches. Since data are not explicitly read out of tag array in CAM search, the detect...
The formal analysis of parallelism and pipelining is performed on an 8-bit Add-Compare-Select element of a Viterbi decoder. The results are quantified through a study of the delay...
This paper proposes a response compactor, named ChiYun compactor, to compact scan-out responses in the presence of unknown values. By adding storage elements into an Xor network, ...

This paper presents a methodology to transfer self-timed circuit specifications into sequential quantum Boolean circuits (SQBCs) and composable SQBCs (CQBCs). State graphs (SGs) a...
In recent years, Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) has been shown to hold potential for Unbounded Model Checking (UMC). The success of SAT-based UMC largely relies on (i) the SAT solv...
Cache memories are commonly implemented through multiple memory banks to improve bandwidth and latency. The early knowledge of the data cache bank that an instruction will access ...

The advent of nanometer feature sizes in silicon fabrication has triggered a number of new design challenges for computer designers. These challenges include design complexity and...
: Power consumption in datapath modules due to redundant switching is an important design concern for high-performance applications. Operand isolation schemes are adopted to reduce...
