We apply a scalable approach for practical, comprehensive design space evaluation and optimization. This approach combines design space sampling and statistical inference to ident...
— As microprocessor technology continues to scale into the nanometer regime, recent studies show that interconnect delay will be a limiting factor for performance, and multiple c...
Heat is a main concern for processors in deep sub-micron technologies. The chip temperature is affected by both the power consumption of processor components and the chip layout....
Prior work on modeling interconnects has focused on optimizing the wire and repeater design for trading off energy and delay, and is largely based on low level circuit parameters....
