Energy-delay bounds analysis in wireless multi-hop networks with unreliable radio links
Energy efficiency and transmission delay are very important parameters for
wireless multi-hop networks. Previous works that study energy efficiency and
delay are based on the assumption of reliable links. However, the unreliability
of the channel is inevitable in wireless multi-hop networks. This paper
investigates the trade-off between the energy consumption and the end-to-end
delay of multi-hop communications in a wireless network using an unreliable
link model. It provides a closed form expression of the lower bound on the
energy-delay trade-off for different channel models (AWGN, Raleigh flat fading
and Nakagami block-fading) in a linear network. These analytical results are
also verified in 2-dimensional Poisson networks using simulations. The main
contribution of this work is the use of a probabilistic link model to define
the energy efficiency of the system and capture the energy-delay trade-offs.
Hence, it provides a more realistic lower bound on both the energy efficiency
and the energy-delay trade-off since it does not restrict the study to the set
of perfect links as proposed in earlier works

Silicon compilation
Silicon compilation is a term used for many different purposes. In this paper we define silicon compilation as a mapping from some higher level description into layout. We define the basic issues in structural and behavioral silicon compilation and some possible solutions to those issues. Finally, we define the concept of an intelligent silicon compiler in which the compiler evaluates the quality of the generated design and attempts to improve it if it is not satisfactory
