This article describes the architecture and implementation of two systems on a programmable chip, which support high accuracy clock synchronization over Ethernet networks. The netw...
—Associated with the ever growing integration scales is the increase in process variability. In the context of networkon-chip, this variability affects the maximum frequency that...
In this paper, we study and implement a routabilitydriven floorplanner with buffer block planning. It evaluates the routability of a floorplan by computing the probability that ...
