Scan based or Line Sweep methods are a traditional mechanism to traverse the physical layout, or artwork of a microchip. These traversals are incremental in nature. They typically...
We apply Amdahl's Law to multicore chips using symmetric cores, asymmetric cores, and dynamic techniques that allows cores to work together on sequential execution. To Amdahl...
Gating the clock is an important technique used in low power design to disable unused modules of a circuit. Gating can save power by both preventing unnecessary activiiy in the lo...
Abstract. Ahardware and software environment with performance above 1 Tera ops (teracomputing) is presently required to face the leading computational challenges not only in fundam...
Supercomputers are increasingly complex systems merging conventional microprocessors with system on a chip level designs that provide the network interface and router. At Sandia N...
