Thermal monitoring of a design plays a vital role to ensure safe and reliable thermal operating conditions. Thermal monitoring by employing thermal sensors is a popular technique for assessing thermal behavior and providing directives for run-time preventive measures. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer a wide range of functionalities and therefore static placement of thermal sensors d...

With technology scaling, the trend for high performance integrated circuits is towards ever higher operating frequency, lower power supply voltages and higher power dissipation. This causes a dramatic increase in the currents being delivered through the on-chip power grid and is recognized in the 2001 International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors as one of the difficult challenges. The ad...

The desire for low power multifunction radios for the DoD is driving interest in reconfigurable RF architectures. While software reconfiguration is the ultimate goal, data conversion power and dynamic range limitations imply that some of the reconfiguration has to take place in hardware. Two RF reconfigurable hardware components that can be integrated onto a single chip will be described in thi...

Shrinking size of transistors has enabled us to integrate more and more logic elements into FPGA chips leading to higher computing power. However, it also brings a serious concern to the leakage power dissipation of the FPGA devices. One of the major reasons for leakage power dissipation in FPGA is the utilization of prefetching technique to minimize the reconfiguration overhead (delay) in Part...

This article presents the significance of efficient hybrid heuristic search algorithm(HS-PABC) based on Harmony search algorithm (HSA) and particle artificial bee colony algorithm (PABC) in the context of distribution network reconfiguration along with optimal allocation of distributed generators and shunt capacitors. The premature and slow convergence over multi model fitness landscape is the ...
