Overscaling-friendly timing speculation architectures
Processors have traditionally been designed for the worst-case, resulting in designs that have high yields, but are expensive in terms of area and power. Better-than-worst-case (B...

A high-performance low-power nanophotonic on-chip network
On-chip communication, including short, often-multicast, latency-critical coherence and synchronization messages, and long, unicast, throughput-sensitive data transfer, limits the...

Timing-based delay test for screening small delay defects
The delay fault test pattern set generated by timing unaware commercial ATPG tools mostly affects very short paths, thereby increasing the escape chance of smaller delay defects. ...

Track Routing and Optimization for Yield
Abstract--In this paper, we propose track routing and optimization for yield (TROY), the first track router for the optimization of yield loss due to random defects. As the probabi...

Switching-activity driven gate sizing and Vth assignment for low power design
Power consumption has gained much saliency in circuit design recently. One design problem is modelled as ”Under a timing constraint, to minimize power as much as possible”. Pr...
