A hierarchical scheme with cells and modules is crucial for managing design complexity during a large integrated circuit design. We present a methodology for thermal aware cell-ba...
High-level power design presents a complex, multiobjective problem that involves the simultaneous optimisation of competing criteria such as speed, area and power. It is difficult...
Switching cells in parallel is a common approach to build switches with very high external line rate and a large number of ports. A prime example is the parallel packet switch (in...
In recent years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the use of data-centric distributed systems such as global grid infrastructures, sensor networks, network monitoring, and vari...
Abstract--This paper provides a high level survey of the increasing effects of on-chip inductance. These effects are classified into desirable and nondesirable effects. Among the u...
