— Energy efficiency has become one of the most important issues to be addressed in today’s System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designs. One way to lower the power consumption is to reduce ...
—In this paper, we present a new block budgeting algorithm which speeds up timing closure in timing driven hierarchical flows. After a brief description of the addressed flow, ...
In this paper, we propose novel architectural and design techniques for three-dimensional field-programmable gate arrays (3D FPGAs) with Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs). We develop a...
Abstract—One of the ways that custom instruction set extensions can improve over software execution is through the use of hardware structures that have been optimized at the arit...
This paper proposes a fast decoupling capacitance (decap) allocation and budgeting algorithm for both early stage decap estimation and later stage decap minimization in today’s ...
