High-performance caches statically pull up the bitlines in all cache subarrays to optimize cache access latency. Unfortunately, such an architecture results in a significant wast...
—In this paper, we examine the design process of a Network on-Chip (NoC) for a high-end commercial System onChip (SoC) application. We present several design choices and focus on...
