Circuit interconnect has become a substantial obstacle in the design of high performance systems. In this paper we explore a new routing paradigm that strikes at the root of the i...
— The X-architecture is a new integrated-circuit wiring technique in the physical design. Compared with the currently used M-architecture, which uses either horizontal or vertica...
3D integration is an emergent technology that has the potential to greatly increase device density while simultaneously providing faster on-chip communication. 3D fabrication invo...
