In the near term, Moore’s law will continue to provide an increasing number of transistors and therefore an increasing number of on-chip cores. Limited pin bandwidth prevents th...

SoCs for multimedia applications typically use only one port to off-chip DRAM for cost reasons. The sharing of interconnect and the off-chip DRAM port by several IP blocks makes t...

Modern out-of-order processors with non-blocking caches exploit Memory-Level Parallelism (MLP) by overlapping cache misses in a wide instruction window. The exploitation of MLP, h...
Abstract-- Due to photo-lithography effects and manufacture process variations, the actual features fabricated on the wafer are different from the designed ones. This difference ca...
Buffer insertion has become a critical step in deep submicron design, and several buffer insertion/sizing algorithms have been proposed in the literature. However, most of these m...
