Coping with The Variability of Combinational Logic Delays
Abstract— This paper proposes a technique for creating a combinational logic network with an output that signals when all other outputs have stabilized. The method is based on du...

Evaluating Techniques for Exploiting Instruction Slack
In many workloads, 25% to 50% of instructions have slack allowing them to be delayed without impacting performance. To exploit this slack, processors may implement more power-efï¬...

I/O Clustering in Design Cost and Performance Optimization for Flip-Chip Design
I/O placement has always been a concern in modern IC design. Due to flip-chip technology, I/O can be placed throughout the whole chip without long wires from the periphery of the...
