: Future nano scale devices will expose different characteristics than todays silicon devices. While the exponential growth of non recurring expenses (NRE, mostly due to mask sets)...
Continuing VLSI technology scaling raises several deep submicron (DSM) problems like relatively slow interconnect, power dissipation and distribution, and signal integrity. Those ...
Multicore has shown significant performance and power advantages over single cores in commercial systems with a 2-4 cores. Applying a corollary of Moore's Law for multicore, ...
