The ever-increasing importance of main memory latency and bandwidth is pushing CMPs towards caches with higher capacity and associativity. Associativity is typically improved by in...
With the advent of system-on-a-chip design, many application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) now require multiple design clocks that operate asynchronously to each other. This...
Timing optimizations during logic synthesis has become a necessary step to achieve timing closure in VLSI designs. This often involves “shortening” all paths found in the circ...
This paper addresses two aspects of low-power design for FPGA circuits. First, we present an RT-level power estimator for FPGAs with consideration of wire length. The power estima...
Retiming has been proposed as an optimizationstep forsequential circuits represented at the net-list level. Retiming moves the latches across the logic gates and in doing so chang...
