With the decreasing feature sizes during VLSI fabrication and the dominance of interconnect delay over that of gates, control logic and wiring no longer have a negligible impact o...
We describe a high performance clocking methodology for domino pipelines. Our technique maximizes the clock rate of the circular pipeline (“ring”) while maintaining the ring c...
† This paper describes a novel methodology to automate the design of the interconnect distribution for multistage clock circuits. We introduce two key ideas. First, a hierarchica...
Energy saving is becoming one of the major design issues in processor architectures with multiple functional units (FUs). Nested loops are usually the most critical part in multim...
Abstract— This paper is interested in applying voltage overscaling (VOS) to reduce trellis decoder energy consumption, where the key issue is how to minimize the decoding perform...
