This paper presents a diagonal routing method which is applied to an actual microprocessor prototype chip. While including the layout functions for the conventional Manhattan rout...
In this paper we present a method of describing microprocessors at different levels of temporal and data abstraction. We consider microprogrammed, pipelined and superscalar proces...
We present a new method for mathematically estimating the active unit power of functional units in modern microprocessors such as the Pentium 4 family. Our method leverages the ph...
