Latency-insensitive protocols allow system-on-chip (SoC) engineers to decouple the design of the computing cores from the design of the intercore communication channels while follo...
This paper presents how to find optimized buffer size for VLSI architectures of full-search block matching algorithms. Starting from the DG (dependency graph) analysis, we focus i...
— Process variations cause significant timing uncertainty and yield degradation in deep sub-micron technologies. A solution to counter timing uncertainty is post-silicon clock t...
Closed formed expressions for buffered interconnect delay approximation have been around for some time. However, previous approaches assume that buffers are free to be placed anyw...
