Abstract. In the field of HPC, the current hardware trend is to design multiprocessor architectures that feature heterogeneous technologies such as specialized coprocessors (e.g., ...
— 3D stacked architectures provide significant benefits in performance, footprint and yield. However, vertical stacking increases the thermal resistances, and exacerbates tempe...

Test access is a major problem for core-based systemon-chip (SOC) designs. Since cores in an SOC are not directly accessible via chip inputs and outputs, special access mechanisms...
As the number of cores per die increases, be they processors, memory blocks, or custom accelerators, the on-chip interconnect the cores use to communicate gains importance. We beg...
