This paper presents an area pad layout method to e ciently reduce the space required for interconnection pads and pad drivers. Unlike peripheral pads, area pads use only the top m...
Crosstalk aggressor alignment induces significant interconnect delay variation and needs to be taken into account in a statistical timer. In this paper, we approximate crosstalk ...
Process variations have become a serious concern for nanometer technologies. The interconnect and device variations include interand intra-die variations of geometries, as well as...

Prefetching in shared-memory multiprocessor systems is an increasingly difficult problem. As system designs grow to incorporate larger numbers of faster processors, memory latency...
Modeling on-chip inductive effects for interconnects of multigigahertz microprocessors remains challenging. SPICE simulation of these effects is very slow because of the large num...
