Modern high performance processors employ advanced techniques for thermal management, which rely on accurate readings of on-die thermal sensors. As the importance of thermal effec...
Abstract— As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay becomes the bottleneck of circuit performance. Compared to gate delays, wires are becoming increasing...
With continued scaling into the sub-90nm regime, the role of process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations on the performance of VLSI circuits has become extremely important. T...
