As a basic cell of arithmetic circuits, a one-bit full adder and a counter are usually used. Minimizing power consumption of these components is a key issue for low-power circuit ...
Directed test program-based verification or formal verification methods are usually quite ineffective on large cachecoherent, non-uniform memory access (CC-NUMA) multiprocessors b...
Verification is one of the most complex and expensive tasks in the current Systems-on-Chip (SOC) design process. Many existing approaches employ a bottom-up approach to pipeline v...
Interconnect with an insufficient width may be subject to electromigration and eventually cause the failure of the circuit at any time during its lifetime. This problem has gotten...
Power gating is emerging as a viable solution to reduction of leakage current. However, power gated circuits are different from the conventional designs in the sense that a power-...
Among the many techniques for system-level power management, it is not currently possible to guarantee timing constraints and have a comprehensive system model at the same time. S...
Interconnection networks in Systems-On-Chip begin to have a non-negligible impact on the power consumption of a whole system. This is because of increasing inter-wire capacitances...
One of the major roadblocks in reduction of library generation cycle time is the layout generation phase. The two methods of doing automatic layout generation are synthesis and mig...
