— In today’s VLSI designs, there can be many blockages in a routing region. The obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimum tree (OARSMT) problem has become an important prob...
A key challenge in architecting a CMP with many cores is maintaining cache coherence in an efficient manner. Directory-based protocols avoid the bandwidth overhead of snoop-based ...
