Originally developed to connect processors and memories in multicomputers, prior research and design of interconnection networks have focused largely on performance. As these netw...
Abstract— Timing and low power emerge as the most important goals in contemporary design. Meanwhile, the majority of placement algorithms developed by industry and academia still...
Abstract— The continuing divergence of processor and memory speeds has led to the increasing reliance on larger caches which have become major consumers of area and power in embe...
Abstract—On-chip power density and temperature are rising exponentially with decreasing feature sizes. This alarming trend calls for temperature management at every level of syst...
— Determination of maximum operating frequencies (Fmax) during manufacturing test at different operating voltages is required to: (a) to ensure that, for a Dynamic Voltage and Fr...
