— A new algorithm is proposed to reduce the number of intermediate registers of a pipelined circuit using a combination of multi-clock cycle paths and clock scheduling. The algor...
As across-chip interconnect delays can exceed a clock cycle, wire pipelining becomes essential in high performance designs. Although it allows higher clock frequencies, it may cha...
We address the problem of minimizing power consumption in behavioral synthesis of data-dominated circuits. The complex nature of power as a cost function implies that the effects ...
In modern superscalar processors, the complex instruction scheduler could form the critical path of the pipeline stages and limit the clock cycle time. In addition, complex schedu...
—Increasing power density causes die overheating due to limited cooling capacity of the package. Conventional thermal management techniques e.g. logic shutdown, clock gating, fre...
