— As technology scales, the delay uncertainty caused by process variations has become increasingly pronounced in deep submicron designs. In the presence of process variations, wo...
Abstract-- The increasing wire delay constraints in deep submicron VLSI designs have led to the emergence of scalable and modular Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures. As the power ...
