Networks-on-Chip constitute the interconnection architecture of future, massively parallel
multiprocessors that assemble hundreds to thousands of processing cores on a single chip …

Silent Data Corruption (SDC) can have negative impact on large-scale infrastructure
services. SDCs are not captured by error reporting mechanisms within a Central Processing …

A 65 nm resilient circuit test-chip is implemented with timing-error detection and recovery
circuits to eliminate the clock frequency guardband from dynamic supply voltage (V CC) and …

Computers are everywhere around us. We, for example, as air passengers, car drivers,
laptop users with Internet connection, cell phone owners, hospital patients, inhabitants in the …

Processors progressively age during their service life due to normal workload activity. Such
aging results in gradually slower circuits. Anticipating this fact, designers add timing …

Microelectronic circuits exhibit increasing variations in performance, power consumption,
and reliability parameters across the manufactured parts and across use of these parts over …

Variations in process parameters affect the operation of integrated circuits (ICs) and pose a
significant threat to the continued scaling of transistor dimensions. Such parameter …

Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) is the leading factor of circuit performance
degradation. Due to its complex dependence on operating conditions, especially signal …

Hardware Trojans are malicious changes to the design of integrated circuits (ICs) at different
stages of the design and fabrication processes. Different approaches have been developed …

With shrinking feature sizes, transistor aging due to NBTI and HCI becomes a major
reliability challenge for microprocessors. These processes lead to increased gate delays …
