Composed in southern India around the eighth century CE, this is a commentary structured around 60 verses of uncertain origin on the poetry of love. The commentary also includes hundreds of illustrative poems drawn from various Tamil literary periods ranging from the very earliest through the eighth century.

The book investigates test vector reordering algorithm for minimizing the power dissipation during testing of VLSI circuits. Testing plays a key role in design flow and is the major challenging task for design and test engineers. Power dissipation is critical problem during testing phase. The test vectors generated from Automatic Test Pattern Generator used for testing are statistically independent which leads to more power dissipation. The testing power can be reduced by reordering the sequence of test vectors. The reordering algorithm is developed using the graph theory with heuristic...
