This paper presents our experience validating the flood tolerance of two network interface card (NIC)-based embedded firewall solutions, the Embedded Firewall (EFW) and the Autono...
In deep submicron technology, IR-drop and clock skew issues become more crucial to the functionality of chip. This paper presents a oorplan-based power and clock distribution meth...
: In a high performance microprocessor such as Digital's 300MHz Alpha 21164, the distribution of a high quality clock signal to all regions of the device is achieved using a c...
Performance of distributed applications largely depends on the mapping of their components on the underlying architecture. On one mponent-based approaches provide an abstraction su...
