With shrinking feature size and growing integration density in the Deep Sub-Micron technologies, the global buses are fast becoming the “weakest-links” in VLSI design. They ha...
High power consumption will shorten battery life for handheld devices and cause thermal and reliability problems. One way to lower the dynamic power consumption is to reduce the s...

In this paper we present NoCEE, a fast and accurate method for extracting energy models for packet-switched Network on Chip (NoC) routers. Linear regression is used to model the r...
A novel and very simple correct-by-construction top-down methodology for high-utilization mixed-size placement is presented. The PolarBear algorithm combines recursive cutsize-dri...
