In Thermal and Power Management of Integrated Circuits, power and thermal management issues in integrated circuits during normal operating conditions and stress operating conditions are addressed. Thermal management in VLSI circuits is becoming an integral part of the design, test, and manufacturing. Proper thermal management...
Delineating the tremendous growth in this area, the Handbook of Approximation Algorithms and Metaheuristics covers fundamental, theoretical topics as well as advanced, practical applications. It is the first book to comprehensively study both approximation algorithms and metaheuristics.
Data communication networks are widely used today and are an integral part of our
daily life. The Internet is a medium for business, personal, and government communication,
and it is difficult to envision today’s society without this essential
infrastructure. The continued success of the Internet is dependent on our ability
to...
The roots of the project which culminates with the writing of
this book can be traced to the work on logic synthesis started in 1979 at
the IBM Watson Research Center and at University of California,
Berkeley. During the preliminary phases of these projects, the impor
tance of logic minimization for the synthesis of area and...
Physical design of integrated circuits remains one of the most interesting and challenging arenas in the field of Electronic Design Automation. The ability to integrate more and more devices on our silicon chips requires the algorithms to continuously scale up. Nowadays we can integrate 2e9 transistors on a single 45nm-technology chip. This...
Increased levels of chip integration combined with physical limitations of heat
removal devices, cooling mechanisms and battery capacity, have established
energy-efficiency as an important design objective in the implementation flow of
modern electronic products. To meet these low energy objectives, new low
power techniques, including...
The scaling of silicon technology has been ongoing for over forty years. We
are on our way to commercializing devices having a minimum feature size of
one-tenlh of a micron. The push for miniaturization comes from the demand
for higher functionality and higher performance at a lower cost. As a result,
successively higher levels of...
As technology feature size of devices and interconnects shrink at the rate predicted
by Moore’s law, gate density and design complexity on single integrated chip
(IC) keep increasing in recent decades. The close to nanoscale fabrication process
introduces more manufacturing errors. New failure mechanisms that are not covered...
This book is a collection of six articles arising from the meeting of the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) ''Combinatorial Optimization: Methods and Applications,'' which was held at the University of Montreal in June 2006. This ASI consisted of seven series of five one-hour lectures and one series of four one-hour...
A bestseller in its first edition, The Circuits and Filters Handbook has been thoroughly updated to provide the most current, most comprehensive information available in both the classical and emerging fields of circuits and filters, both analog and digital. This edition contains 29 new chapters, with significant additions in the areas of...
Making VHDL a simple and easy-to-use hardware description language
Many engineers encountering VHDL (very high speed integrated circuits hardware description language) for the first time can feel overwhelmed by it. This book bridges the gap between the VHDL language and the hardware that results from logic synthesis with...
The field of multidimensional data structures is large and growing very quickly. Here, for the first time, is a thorough treatment of multidimensional point data, object and image-based representations, intervals and small rectangles, and high-dimensional datasets. The book includes a thorough introduction; a comprehensive survey to spatial...
