This paper proposes for latency insensitive systems a performance optimization technique called channel buffer queue sizing, which is performed after relay station insertion in th...
Interconnect delay has become a critical factor in determining the performance of integrated circuits. Routing and buffering are powerful means of improving the circuit speed and ...
—The thermal gradients existing in high-performance circuits may significantly affect their timing behavior, in particular, by increasing the skew of the clock net and/or alteri...
This paper addresses the problem of power-optimal repeater insertion for global buses in the presence of crosstalk noise. MTCMOS technique by inserting high-Vth sleep transistors ...
Antenna effect may damage gate oxides during plasma-based fabrication process. The antenna ratio of total exposed antenna area to total gate oxide area is directly related to the ...
