Combining high performance with low power consumption is becoming one of the primary objectives of processor designs. Instead of relying just on sleep mode for conserving power, a...
The ever-increasing number of transistors on a chip has resulted in very large scale integration (VLSI) systems whose performance and manufacturing costs are driven by on-chip wir...
In an attempt to enable the cost-effective production of lowand mid-volume application-specific chips, researchers have proposed a number of so-called structured ASIC architecture...
