Network on Chip (NoC) is a new paradigm for designing core based System on Chip which supports high degree of reusability and is scalable. In this paper we describe an efficient t...
Multiported register files are a critical component of high-performance superscalar microprocessors. Conventional multiported structures can consume significant power and die ar...
The importance of an interconnect pattern density model in ASIC design flow for a 90nm technology is presented. It is shown that performing the timing analysis at the worst-case c...

Failure analysis (FA) and diagnosis of memory cores plays a key role in system-on-chip (SOC) product development and yield ramp-up. Conventional FA based on bitmaps and the experi...
— In order to achieve timing closure on increasingly complex IC designs, buffer insertion needs to be performed on thousands of nets within an integrated physical synthesis syste...
