DFT closure

It is becoming evident that testability must be addressed throughout the entire design process. To successfully meet all the design goals of today's and tomorrow's enormously complex devices, swift convergence of function, timing, area and power requirements must be simultaneously accompanied by new test tools that enable rapid, predictable and repeatable DFT closure. Achieving successful DFT c...

The Sliding DFT

The standard method for spectrum analysis in digital signal processing (DSP) is the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), typically implemented using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. However, there are applications that require spectrum analysis only over a subset of the N center frequencies of an N-point DFT. A popular, as well as efficient, technique for computing sparse DFT results is t...

DFT in a Nutshell

The purpose of this short essay is to introduce students and other newcomers to the basic ideas and uses of modern electronic density functional theory, including what kinds of approximations are in current use, and how well they work (or not). The complete newcomer should find it orients them well, while even longtime users and aficionados might find something new outside their area. Important...
