Federation: repurposing scalar cores for out-of-order instruction issue
Future SoCs will contain multiple cores. For workloads with significant parallelism, prior work has shown the benefit of many small, multi-threaded, scalar cores. For workloads th...

Path smoothing via discrete optimization
A fundamental problem in timing-driven physical synthesis is the reduction of critical paths in a design. In this work, we propose a powerful new technique that moves (and can als...

ADAM: run-time agent-based distributed application mapping for on-chip communication
Design-time decisions can often only cover certain scenarios and fail in efficiency when hard-to-predict system scenarios occur. This drives the development of run-time adaptive s...

Topological routing to maximize routability for package substrate
Compared with on-chip routers, the existing commercial tools for off-chip routing have a much lower routability and often result in a large number of unrouted nets for manual rout...

Automatic package and board decoupling capacitor placement using genetic algorithms and M-FDM
In the design of complex power distribution networks (PDN) with multiple power islands, it is required that the PDN represents a low impedance as seen by the digital modules. This...

Predictive dynamic thermal management for multicore systems
Recently, processor power density has been increasing at an alarming rate resulting in high on-chip temperature. Higher temperature increases current leakage and causes poor relia...

Parameterized timing analysis with general delay models and arbitrary variation sources
Many recent techniques for timing analysis under variability, in which delay is an explicit function of underlying parameters, may be described as parameterized timing analysis. T...
