Existing thermal-aware 3D placement methods assume that the temperature of 3D ICs can be optimized by properly distributing the power dissipations, and ignoring the heat conductiv...
New tendencies envisage 2D/3D Multi-Processor System-On-Chip (MPSoC) as a promising solution for the consumer electronics market. MPSoCs are complex to design, as they must execute...
Long interconnects are becoming an increasingly important problem from both power and performance perspectives. This motivates designers to adopt on-chip network-based communicati...

In this paper, we propose two methods used in 3D IC placement that effectively exploit the die-to-die thermal coupling in the stack. First, TSVs are spread on each die to reduce t...
