— Continued scaling of CMOS has lead to a problem of scale as gates are faster than light travelling across a chip. Scalability used to be the hallmark of CMOS. Half the size, do...
—Regular multi-core processors are appearing in the embedded system market as high performance software programmable solutions. The use of regular interconnect fabrics for them a...
Abstract— Interconnect has become a primary bottleneck in integrated circuit design. As CMOS technology is scaled, it will become increasingly difficult for conventional copper ...
As packet-switching interconnection networks replace buses and dedicated wires to become the standard on-chip interconnection fabric, reducing their power consumption has been ide...
Interconnect delays are increasingly becoming the dominant source of performance degradation in the nano-meter regime, largely because the wires do not scale as fast as the device...
