The clock rate of modern chips is still increasing and at the same time the gate size decreases. As a result, already slight variations during the production process may cause a f...
In modern SoCs, embedded memories occupy the largest part of the chip area and include an even larger amount of active devices. As memories are designed very tightly to the limits...

This paper explores the power implications of replacing global chip wires with an on-chip network. We optimize network links by varying repeater spacing, link pipelining, and volt...
