Implementing nanometer-scale ICs begins and ends with wires. Wires are so dominant that little is known about a design's performance or manufacturability without them. In fact, nanometer design ...

Testing is not adequate for ensuring the dependability of today’s multi-threaded systems (see “The Limits Of Testing In Safe Systems” at electronicdesign.com). Even though these systems are ...

The HEBA was introduced by the Innovation Center as a key feature in its efforts to support health equity through payment adjustments across models. The HEBA creates a score based upon a beneficiary’s ...

Requirements-driven development and testing in its ideal form has long been considered too challenging by industries who are not forced to follow stringent verification standards. After all, if no one ...

This document describes the issues faced when building hardware and software systems where the success of the project is dependant on requirements being fully supported and tested. Where the cost of ...

The physical design implementation of large complex deep sub-micron technologies has evolved to a stage where it is essential to consider every aspect of SoC design and implementation during the ...

Cofer and Harding discuss how to implement DSP functionality, covering when FPGAs are a good fit for DSP algorithm implementation and important design decisions and considerations. Each of these ...

As the scaling of silicon technology proceeds, via resistance is becoming a dominant factor in integrated circuit (IC) yield, performance, and reliability. At advanced nodes, interconnects and via ...
