We present a novel technique to exploit the power-performance tradeoff. The technique can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with dynamic voltage scaling, the mainstream techn...
As thermal problems become more evident, new physical design paradigms and tools are needed to alleviate them. Incorporating thermal vias into integrated circuits (ICs) is a promi...
Routability optimization has become a major concern in the physical design cycle of VLSI circuits. Due to the recent advances in VLSI technology, interconnect has become a dominan...
Programs are fragile for many reasons, including software errors, partial failures, and network problems. One way to make software more robust is to design it from the start as a ...
The ever-increasing importance of main memory latency and bandwidth is pushing CMPs towards caches with higher capacity and associativity. Associativity is typically improved by in...
