— We have entered an era where chip yields are decreasing with scaling. A new concept called intelligible testing has been previously proposed with the goal of reversing this tre...
Technology trends are driving parallel on-chip architectures in the form of multi-processor systems-on-a-chip (MPSoCs) and chip multi-processors (CMPs). In these systems the incre...

— New back-end design for manufacturability rules have brought guarantee rules for interconnect matching. These rules indicate a certain capacitance matching guarantee given spac...
— Caches, block memories, predictors, state tables, and other forms of on-chip memory are continuing to consume a greater portion of processor designs with each passing year. Mak...
— As silicon CMOS devices are scaled down into the nanoscale regime, new challenges at both the device and system level are arising. While some of these challenges will be overco...
