Modern processors and SoCs require the adoption of poweroriented design styles, due to the implications that power consumption may have on reliability, cost and manufacturability ...
With the advent of deep sub-micron (DSM) era, floorplanning has become increasingly important in physical design process. In this paper we clarify a misunderstanding in using Lag...
Modern high performance processors employ advanced techniques for thermal management, which rely on accurate readings of on-die thermal sensors. As the importance of thermal effec...
Physical Design of modern systems on chip is extremely challenging. Such digital integrated circuits often contain tens of millions of logic gates, intellectual property blocks, e...
