ACE analysis is a technique to provide an early reliability estimate for microprocessors. ACE analysis couples data from performance models with low level design details to identi...
We introduce a novel chip fabrication technique called “brick and mortar”, in which chips are made from small, pre-fabricated ASIC bricks and bonded in a designer-specified a...

The sustained progress of VLSI technology has altered the landscape of routing which is a major physical design stage. For timing driven routings, traditional approaches which con...
In a circuit environment that is becoming increasingly sensitive to dynamic power dissipation and noise, and where cycle time available for control decisions continues to decrease...
