Process variation has become a major concern in the design of many nanometer circuits, including interconnect pipelines. This paper develops closed-form models to predict the dela...
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are very commonly used as function optimizers, basically due to their search capability. A number of different serial and parallel versions of GA exist. ...
Abstract. Limited bandwidth to off-chip main memory is a performance bottleneck in chip multiprocessors for streaming computations, such as Cell/B.E., and this will become even mor...
We describe a method to clock the domino pipeline at the maximum rate by using soft synchronizers between pipeline stages and thus allowing "time borrowing," i.e., allow...
Abstract. The continuous miniaturization of semiconductor devices imposes serious threats to design robustness against process variations and environmental fluctuations. Modern ci...
