Energy (or, more specifically, energy consumption) is at the forefront in everyone's mind these days. Whether we are sensitive to the cost of fuel, to the electricity bill or to a dead cell phone ...

In this paper, we examine the need for formal sequential equivalence checking across pairs of RTL models. We present scenarios that call for modifying the sequential behavior of RTL models while ...

Systems on chip (SoC) and processor design teams are challenged to meet aggressive power, performance and area requirements. As chip complexity grows, teams must verify thousands of lines of code to ...

Unlike combinational power reduction tools, PowerPro CG identifies and generates sequential clock-gating transformations. It fits into existing design flows with industry-standard library, timing, and ...

A class of sequential designs for estimating the percentiles of a quantal response curve is proposed. Its updating rule is based on an efficient summary of all of the data available via a parametric ...

In the competitive world of electronics manufacturing, a profound truth often goes unrecognized until expensive lessons force ...

In this paper, we examine the need for formal sequential equivalence checkingacross pairs of RTL models. We present scenarios that call for modifying thesequential behavior of RTL models while ...
