— As across-chip wire delays exceed a clock cycle, interconnect pipelining becomes essential. However, the arbitrary insertion of flip-flops can change the differentials of lat...
Cache memories account for a significant fraction of a chip's overall energy dissipation. Recent research advocates using "resizable" caches to exploit cache requir...

Global interconnect temperature keeps rising in the current and future technologies due to self-heating and the adiabatic property of top metal layers. The thermal e ects impact a...
Traditional FPGA design flows have treated logic synthesis and physical design as separate steps. With the recent advances in technology, the lack of information on the physical ...
