Abstract-- In this paper we present the first bus-aware microarchitectural floorplanning. Our goal is to study the impact of bus routability on other important floorplanning object...
— 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...
This paper proposes Noise-Direct, a design methodology for power integrity aware floorplanning, using microarchitectural feedback to guide module placement. Stringent power constr...
