  Algebraic circuits
Ruiz A., Morales E., Roure L., Ríos A., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, Berlin, Germany, 2014. 394 pp.  Type: Book (978-3-642546-48-8)

Digital circuits that emulate operations drawn from algebraic structures like rings or fields are often called algebraic circuits. For example, linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs), used in coding and cryptography to generate pseudo...

  Behavior-level observability analysis for operation gating in low-power behavioral synthesis
Cong J., Liu B., Majumdar R., Zhang Z. ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems 16(1): 1-29, 2010.  Type: Article

As the authors demonstrate in this paper, observability analysis at the behavioral level, before operations are scheduled, can lead to significant reductions in power consumption. This is done by gating clocks on the output registers o...

  A real-time program trace compressor utilizing double move-to-front method
Uzelac V., Milenkovic A.  DAC 2009 (Proc. of the 46th Annual Design Automation Conference, San Francisco, California, Jul 26-31, 2009) 738-743, 2009.  Type: Proceedings

The move-to-front (MTF) transform is a standard data compression technique that reduces the entropy of data streams. After a symbol has been processed, it is moved to the top of the history table, which ensures that frequently used sym...
