Heat dissipation is one of the most serious challenges in 3D IC designs. One effective way of reducing circuit temperature is to introduce thermal through-the-silicon (TTS) vias....
Register file (RF) is extremely vulnerable to soft errors, and traditional redundancy based schemes to protect the RF are prohibitive not only because RF is often in the timing c...
— In this paper, we propose a game theoretic approach to tackle the problem of the distributed formation of the hierarchical network architecture that connects the nodes in the u...
