Design debugging is a major bottleneck in modern VLSI design flows as both the design size and the length of the error trace contribute to its inherent complexity. With typical des...
As contemporary VLSI designs grow in complexity, design debugging has rapidly established itself as one of the largest bottlenecks in the design cycle today. Automated debug soluti...
In recent years, structured application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design style has lessened the importance of mask cost. Multiple structured ASIC chip designs share the sa...
Clock mesh networks are well known for their variation tolerance. But their usage is limited to high-end designs due to the significantly high resource requirements compared to clo...
In response to the increasing variations in integrated-circuit manufacturing, the current trend is to create designs that take these variations into account statistically. In this ...
Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D-ICs) are a promising approach to address the integration challenges faced by current systems on chips (SoCs). Designing an efficient netwo...
The Monte-Carlo (MC) technique is a traditional solution for a reliable statistical analysis, and in contrast to probabilistic methods, it can account for any complicate model. How...
Abstract--This paper presents a GALS-compatible circuitswitched on-chip network that is well suited for use in many-core platforms targeting streaming DSP and embedded applications...
Abstract--In double patterning lithography (DPL) layout decomposition for 45nm and below process nodes, two features must be assigned opposite colors (corresponding to different ex...
