Clock networks contribute a significant fraction of dynamic power and can be a limiting factor in high-performance CPUs and SoCs. The need for multi-objective optimization over a l...
Thermal gradients across the die are becoming increasingly prominent as we scale further down into the sub-nanometer regime. While temperature was never a primary concern, its non...
We have proposed an e cient measure to reduce the clock skew by assigning the clock network with variable branch widths. This measure has long been used for \H" clock tree. T...
Abstract—Design guidelines for resonant H-tree clock distribution networks are presented in this paper. A distributed model of a two-level resonant H-tree structure is described,...
Impact analysis is a specialized process of program comprehension that investigates the nature and extent of a planned software change. Traditionally, impact analysis inspects dep...
