A 550MHz 64b PowerPC processor was developed for fabrication in Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology from a processor previously designed and fabricated in bulk CMOS [1]. Both th...
In this paper, we present two novel methodologies for testing the interconnect fabrics of network-on-chip (NoC) based chips. Both use the concept of recursive testing, with differ...
The next generation of computer chips will continue the trend for more complexity than their predecessors. Many of them will contain different chip technologies and are termed SoC...
—Regular multi-core processors are appearing in the embedded system market as high performance software programmable solutions. The use of regular interconnect fabrics for them a...
This paper describes how an intelligent chip architecture has allowed a large cohort of undergraduate students to be given effective practical insight into IC design, by designing ...
