Continuous improvements in integration scale have made major microprocessor vendors to move to designs that integrate several processor cores on the same chip. Chip-multiprocessor...
Three-dimensional (3-D) integrated circuits have emerged as promising candidates to overcome the interconnect bottlenecks of nanometer scale designs. While they offer several othe...

This paper explores optimization techniques of the synchronization mechanisms for MPSoCs based on complex interconnect (Network-on-Chip), targeted at future powerefficient system...
As technology advances into the nanometer territory, the interconnect delay has become a first-order effect on chip performance. To handle this effect, the X-architecture has been...
