This paper presents a modular optimization framework for custom digital circuits in the power – performance space. The method uses a static timer and a nonlinear optimizer to max...
Modern embedded processors use small and simple branch predictors to improve performance. Using complex and accurate branch predictors, while desirable, is not possible as such pre...
Abstract. Modern embedded devices (e.g. PDAs, mobile phones) are now incorporating Java as a very popular implementation language in their designs. These new embedded systems inclu...
The time taken for a CMOS logic gate output to change after one or more inputs have changed is called the output delay of the gate. A conventional multi-input CMOS gate is designed...

Abstract. The load-store queue (LQ-SQ) of modern superscalar processors is responsible for keeping the order of memory operations. As the performance gap between processing speed a...
Abstract. Based on a previously reported request driven technique for Globally-Asynchronous Locally-Synchronous (GALS) circuits this paper presents two significant enhancements. Fi...
