1. VLSI aspects on inversion in finite fields
Abstract : Different algorithms and architectures for inversion in finite extension fields are studied. The investigation is restricted to fields of characteristic two. Based on a simple transistor model, various architectures are compared with respect to delay, area requirement, and energy consumption. READ MORE

2. Manufacturability in the Nanometer Era: Regularity considerations in VLSI Circuits
Abstract : Each reduction of the technology node has, along with improvements in IC fabricationtechnology, been the main driver in delivering the demand for function rich, integratedmobile electronics that are so prevalent. As devices keep growing smaller and geometriesapproach the order of a few atomic layers, it is increasingly difficult to achievecost-effective mass production for reasons related to performance and fabrication capability.

3. Trellis Decoding: From Algorithm to Flexible Architectures
Abstract : Trellis decoding is a popular method to recover encoded information corrupted during transmission over a noisy channel. Prominent members of this class of decoding algorithms are the Viterbi algorithm, which provides maximum likelihood estimates, and the BCJR algorithm, which is a maximum a posteriori estimator commonly used in iterative decoding.

4. REMAP-γ: A Scalable SIMD VLSI Architecture with Hierarchical Control
Abstract : While the clock speed of general purpose (uni-)processors has risen dramatically during recent years, this is not true for SIMD (Single Instruction stream Multiple Data streams) parallel processors. The reason is to be found in the structure of this type of architecture: long-range broadcasting of data, clock and control signals. READ MORE

5. Dynamically Reconfigurable Resource Array
Abstract : The goals set by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) for the consumer portable category, to be realized by 2020, are 1000X improvement in performance with only 40\% increase in power budget and no increase in design team size. To meet these goals, the challenges facing the VLSI community are gaps in architecture efficacy, design productivity and battery capacity. READ MORE
