With the increasing levels of variability and randomness in the characteristics and behavior of manufactured nanoscale structures and devices, achieving performance optimization u...
Design variability due to die-to-die and within-die process variations has the potential to significantly reduce the maximum operating frequency and the effective yield of high-p...
The fill unit is the structure which collects blocks of instructions and combines them into multi-block segments for storage in a trace cache. In this paper, we expand the role of...
Programmable circuit design has played an important role in improving design productivity over the last few decades. By imposing structure on the design, efficient automation of s...
As CMOS technology scales into the nanometer regime, power dissipation and associated thermal concerns in high-performance ICs due to on-chip hot-spots and thermal gradients are b...
