A hierarchical three-way interconnect architecture for hexagonal processors
The problem of interconnect architecture arises when an array of processors needs to be integrated on one chip. With the deep sub-micron technology, devices become cheap while wir...

Fast estimation of the partitioning rent characteristic using a recursive partitioning model
In the past, a priori interconnect prediction, based on Rent’s rule, has been applied mainly for technology evaluation and roadmap applications. These applications do not requir...

Perimeter-degree: a priori metric for directly measuring and homogenizing interconnection complexity in multilevel placement
In this paper, we describe an accurate metric (perimeter-degree) for measuring interconnection complexity and effective use of it for controlling congestion in a multilevel framew...

Error-correction and crosstalk avoidance in DSM busses
Aggressive process scaling and increasing clock rates have made crosstalk noise an important issue in VLSI design. Switching on adjacent wires on long bus lines can increase delay...
