Inductive cross-talk within IC packaging is becoming a significant bottleneck in high-speed inter-chip communication. The parasitic inductance within IC packaging causes bounce o...
Modern embedded processors use data caches with higher and higher degrees of associativity in order to increase performance. A set–associative data cache consumes a significant...
