The NETWORK-ON-CHIP (NOC) interconnection paradigm has been gaining momentum thanks to its flexibility, scalability and suitability to deep submicron technology processes. The ne...
This paper describes an important new facility for timing-driven design applications within the new CHDStd standard for a SEMATECH design system for large complex chips. We first ...

As knowledge bases move into the landscape of larger ontologies and have terabytes of related data, we must work on optimizing the performance of our tools. We are easily tempted t...
As process technology continues to shrink, interconnect current densities continue to increase, making it ever more difficult to meet chip reliability targets. For microprocessors...
