Simultaneous Gate and Interconnect Sizing for Circuit-Level Delay Optimization
Abstract—With delays due to the physical interconnect dominating the overall logic path delays, circuit-level delay optimization must take interconnect effects into account. Inst...

An Adaptive, Reconfigurable Interconnect for Computational Clusters
This paper describes the principles of an original adaptive interconnect for a computational cluster. Torus topology (2d or 3d) is used as a basis but nodes are allowed to effecti...
