As CMOS technology continues its monotonic shrink, computing with quantum dots remains a goal in nanotechnology research. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is a paradigm for low...
The emphasis in microprocessor design has shifted from high performance, to a combination of high performance and low power. Until recently, this trend was mostly true for uniproc...
ACE analysis is a technique to provide an early reliability estimate for microprocessors. ACE analysis couples data from performance models with low level design details to identi...
Continuous improvements in integration scale have made major microprocessor vendors to move to designs that integrate several processor cores on the same chip. Chip-multiprocessor...
Microprocessor clock frequency has improved by nearly 40% annually over the past decade. This improvement has been provided, in equal measure, by smaller technologies and deeper p...
