Process scaling has given designers billions of transistors to work with. As feature sizes near the atomic scale, extensive variation and wearout inevitably make margining unecono...

Performance and power are the first order design metrics for Network-on-Chips (NoCs) that have become the de-facto standard in providing scalable communication backbones for mult...

As chip multiprocessors scale to a greater number of processing cores, on-chip interconnection networks will experience dramatic increases in both bandwidth demand and power dissi...

Continuing VLSI technology scaling raises several deep submicron (DSM) problems like relatively slow interconnect, power dissipation and distribution, and signal integrity. Those ...
We revisit a basic element of modern signal integrity analysis, the modeling of worst-case coupling capacitance effects within a switch factor (SF) based methodology. We show that...
