Clustered machines partition hardware resources to circumvent the cycle time penalties incurred by large, monolithic structures. This partitioning introduces a long inter-cluster ...
A new paradigm is introduced for floorplanning any combination of fixed-shape and variable-shape blocks under tight fixedoutline area constraints and a wirelength objective. Dra...
Although unstructured mesh algorithms are a popular means of solving problems across a broad range of disciplines—from texture mapping to computational fluid dynamics—they ar...

Reducing power consumption has become a major challenge in the design and operation of today's computer systems. This chapter describes different techniques addressing this c...
While caches have become invaluable for higher-end architectures due to their ability to hide, in part, the gap between processor speed and memory access times, caches (and partic...
