I/O placement has always been a concern in modern IC design. Due to flip-chip technology, I/O can be placed throughout the whole chip without long wires from the periphery of the...

Power consumption, particularly runtime leakage, in long on-chip buses has grown to an unacceptable portion of the total power budget due to heavy buffer insertion to combat RC de...

In this paper we describe, a powerful post-synthesis approach called reclocking, for performance improvement by minimizing the total execution time. By back annotating the wire del...
3D integration technology greatly increases transistor density while providing faster on-chip communication. 3D implementations of processors can simultaneously provide both laten...
† The limits on CMOS energy dissipation imposed by subthreshold leakage currents and by wiring capacitance are investigated for CMOS generations beyond 50nm at NTRS projected loc...
