NoC topology synthesis for supporting shutdown of voltage islands in SoCs
In many Systems on Chips (SoCs), the cores are clustered in to voltage islands. When cores in an island are unused, the entire island can be shutdown to reduce the leakage power c...

An SDRAM-aware router for Networks-on-Chip
In this paper, we present an NoC (Networks-on-Chip) router with an SDRAM-aware flow control. Based on a priority-based arbitration, it schedules packets to improve memory utilizat...

A direct integral-equation solver of linear complexity for large-scale 3D capacitance and impedance extraction
State-of-the-art integral-equation-based solvers rely on techniques that can perform a matrix-vector multiplication in O(N) complexity. In this work, a fast inverse of linear comp...

Optimal static WCET-aware scratchpad allocation of program code
Caches are notorious for their unpredictability. It is difficult or even impossible to predict if a memory access will result in a definite cache hit or miss. This unpredictabilit...

WCET-aware register allocation based on graph coloring
Current compilers lack precise timing models guiding their built-in optimizations. Hence, compilers apply ad-hoc heuristics during optimization to improve code quality. One of the...

Fault models for embedded-DRAM macros
In this paper, we compare embedded-DRAM (eDRAM) testing to both SRAM testing and commodity-DRAM testing, since an eDRAM macro uses DRAM cells with an SRAM interface. We first star...

Process variation characterization of chip-level multiprocessors
Within-die variation in leakage power consumption is substantial and increasing for chip-level multiprocessors (CMPs) and multiprocessor systems-on-chip. Dealing with this problem...
