— This paper presents a number of new high-radix ripple-carry adder designs based on Ling’s addition technique and a recently-published expansion thereof. The proposed adders a...
—We survey state-of-the-art optimization methods that target low power dissipation in VLSI circuits. Optimizations at the circuit, logic, architectural and system levels are cons...
Partitioning plays an increasingly important role in the design process of VLSI circuits and systems. There are partitioning to be solved on all levels of abstraction. The rapidly...
Transient faults in VLSI circuits could lead to disastrous consequences. With technology scaling, circuits are becoming increasingly vulnerable to transient faults. This papers pr...
Due to aggressive technology scaling, VLSI circuits are becoming increasingly susceptible to transient errors caused by single-event-upsets (SEUs). In this paper, we introduce two...
Feature sizes in VLSI circuits are steadily shrinking. This results in increasing susceptibility to soft errors, e.g. due to environmental radiation. Precautions against soft error...
As the size and complexity of VLSI circuits increase, the need for faster floorplanning algorithms also grows. In this work we introduce Traffic, a new method for creating wire- a...
