This paper shows a method to verifying the thermal status of complex FPGA-based circuits like microprocessors. Thus, the designer can evaluate if a particular block is working bey...
In the past, a priori interconnect prediction, based on Rent’s rule, has been applied mainly for technology evaluation and roadmap applications. These applications do not requir...
We consider active leakage power dissipation in FPGAs and present a “no cost” approach for active leakage reduction. It is well-known that the leakage power consumed by a digi...
Existing thermal-aware 3D placement methods assume that the temperature of 3D ICs can be optimized by properly distributing the power dissipations, and ignoring the heat conductiv...
Clock tree synthesis is one of the most important and challenging problems in 3D ICs. The clock signals have to be delivered by through-silicon vias (TSVs) to different tiers with...
