This paper investigates dipolar ordering phenomena in chains of deep-submicron size, strongly coupled nanomagnets by Magnetic Force Microscopy. We will examine effects influencing the length o f antiferromagnetic ordering in these chains. Experimental observations will be compared to single-domain simulations and we will discuss methods to achieve the possible longest-range ordering. Keywords-n...

There exist important problems that require the measurement of very fast motion. Common techniques for motion estimation based on sequences of video images usually fail to deliver the correct results for such problems due to the low video rate. We present an analog VLSI based system that determines the motion in real-time. We demonstrate the performance of that system for the case of measuring ...

This paper describes a new visual approach to creating and manipulating symbolic descriptions of VLSI microarchitectures at the register-transfer (RT) level. The MIES visual RT description provides a number of views of a microarchitecture's datapath and controller that visually emphasize different aspects of a design. The key view ties together a symbolic description of the RT operations invoke...

Power is most important t factor in any system design. The need for low power has caused a major factor where power dissipationhas become as important a consideration as performance and their area. Thispaper reviews various strategies and methodologies for designing low power circuitsandsystems. Thispaperexplains the connection between scaling and power consumption and design robustness. The pa...

An imbedded language system for the hyout of VLSI circuits is examined. It is shown that through the judicious use of this system, a large variety of circuits can be designed with circuit density and performance comparable to traditional full-custom design methods, but with design costs more comparable to semi-custom design methods, The high performance of this methodology is attributable to th...

Simulation of logic designs is a very important part of the VLSI-design process. The increasing size of the designs requires more e cient simulation strategies to accelerate the simulation process. Parallel logic simulation seems to be a promising approach in this direction. This paper describes the basic principles of parallel logic simulation, discusses di erent approaches, and surveys the re...

The ultimate goal of any custom chip must be its effective use in a complete system. Integrating a chip into a system is usually a nontrivial task, especially for small research teams that do not have extensive hardware and software support As a result, chips designed by universities and research laboratories are seldom evaluated beyond functional checking in isolation. In-system evaluation, na...
