In both the quality improvement and the design of a product, the engineering characteristics affecting product performance are primarily identified and improved to optimize custom...
Analytical modeling is applied to the automated design of application-specific superscalar processors. Using an analytical method bridges the gap between the size of the design sp...
— As microprocessor technology continues to scale into the nanometer regime, recent studies show that interconnect delay will be a limiting factor for performance, and multiple c...
Closed formed expressions for buffered interconnect delay approximation have been around for some time. However, previous approaches assume that buffers are free to be placed anyw...
