The ever increasing usage of microprocessor devices is sustained by a high volume production that in turn requires a high production yield, backed by a controlled process. Fault d...
In this paper, we present a novel hybrid multiplier architecture that has the regularity of linear array multipliers and the performance of tree multipliers and is highly scalable...
Future high performance microprocessor design with technology scaling beyond 90nm will pose two major challenges: (1) energy and power, and (2) parameter variations. Design practi...
As the family of Alpha microprocessors continues to scale into more advanced technologies with very high frequency edge rates and multiple layers of interconnect, the issue of cha...
In this paper, we present a novel design methodology to combat the ever-aggravating high frequency power supply noise (di/dt) in modern microprocessors. Our methodology integrates ...
