Scaling of CMOS technology causes the power supply voltages to fall and supply currents to rise at the same time as operating speeds are increasing. Falling supply voltages cause ...
This paper proposes Noise-Direct, a design methodology for power integrity aware floorplanning, using microarchitectural feedback to guide module placement. Stringent power constr...

As technology scales down, power supply noise is becoming a performance and reliability bottleneck in modern VLSI. We propose a power supply noise-aware design methodology for hig...
As the power consumption of modern highperformance microprocessors increases beyond 100W, power becomes an increasingly important design consideration. This paper presents a novel...
