Welcome to VSCLAB at UC Riverside
VLSI System Computing Lab (VSCLAB) is lead by Prof. Sheldon Tan, who is a Professor at Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Bourns College of Engineering. Dr. Tan is also a cooperating faculty member (co-faculty) of the Computer Science and Engineering department. Here are his latest curriculum vitae and short biography and my publication list.
In addition, Dr. Tan is the Editor in Chief (EIC) of Integration, The VLSI Journal, which is one of the primary journals in the VLSI design and CAD/design automation areas.
VSCLAB Recent Research Highlights:
- EMspice: coupled EM-IR analysis tool for full-chip power grid EM and IR check and sign-off
- GPU-accelerated sparse parallel LU factorization solver project, GLU V3.0 is available in Github now (with sources codes and examples)
- The new physics-based EM model for more accurate EM assessment and EM signoff
