The microprocessor industry is currently struggling with higher development costs and longer design times that arise from exceedingly complex processors that are pushing the limit...
This paper explores the power implications of replacing global chip wires with an on-chip network. We optimize network links by varying repeater spacing, link pipelining, and volt...
ACE analysis is a technique to provide an early reliability estimate for microprocessors. ACE analysis couples data from performance models with low level design details to identi...
As process technologies continue to scale, the magnitude of within-die device parameter variations is expected to increase and may lead to significant timing variability. This pap...
We investigate coding techniques to reduce the energy consumed by on-chip buses in a microprocessor. We explore several simple coding schemes and simulate them using a modified Si...
