Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles have the potential to provide an attractive solution for the resistivity and electromigration problems faced by traditional copper int...
Individual dies in 3D integrated circuits are connected using throughsilicon-vias (TSVs). TSVs not only increase manufacturing cost, but also incur silicon area, delay, and power ...
A priori wirelength estimation is concerned with predicting various wirelength characteristics before placement. In this work we propose a novel, accurate estimator of net lengths...
As industry moves towards many-core chips, networks-on-chip (NoCs) are emerging as the scalable fabric for interconnecting the cores. With power now the first-order design constr...
