Pattern matching (PM) was first introduced as the semiconductor industry began to shift from simple one-dimensional rule checks to the two-dimensional checks required by sub-resolution lithography.

When building applications, you often come across objects that are quite expensive to create. In some scenarios, the cost of creating new objects is high enough to impact application performance. Here ...

Design patterns are proven solutions to common software design problems. They provide the correct and tested solution for what is often encountered while designing software applications. The ...

The Builder Pattern is a common software design pattern that's used to encapsulate the construction logic for an object. This pattern is often used when the construction process of an object is ...

Both scan automated test pattern generation (ATPG) patterns and IJTAG patterns 1,2,3 are created for a piece of logic that is part of a much larger design. For both, the patterns are independent from ...
