This paper explores a new technique called coherence decoupling, which breaks a traditional cache coherence protocol into two protocols: a Speculative Cache Lookup (SCL) protocol ...
Smaller feature sizes, reduced voltage levels, higher transistor counts, and reduced noise margins make future generations of microprocessors increasingly prone to transient hardw...
1- A methodology is presented in this paper for determining an optimal set of clock path delays for designing high performance VLSI/ULSI-based clock distribution networks. This met...
Reducing circuit's peak current plays an important role in circuit reliability in deep sub-micron era. For sequential circuits, it is observed that the peak current has a str...
A major challenge faced in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is locating devices for communication, especially in the case of high node mobility and sparse node density. Present solu...
