In deep sub-micron technology, the crosstalk effect between adjacent wires has become an important issue, especially between long on-chip buses. This effect leads to the increas...
The emphasis in microprocessor design has shifted from high performance, to a combination of high performance and low power. Until recently, this trend was mostly true for uniproc...
We present new architectural concepts for uniprocessor designs that conform to the data-driven computation paradigm. Usage of our D2 -CPU (Data-Driven processor) follows the natura...
—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
— Technology scaling has caused the feature sizes to shrink continuously, whereas interconnects, unlike transistors, have not followed the same trend. Designing 3D stack architec...
