This work presents and evaluates a novel processor microarchitecture which combines two paradigms: access/ execute decoupling and simultaneous multithreading. We investigate how b...
We present a hierarchicaltechniquefor floorplanning and pin assignment of the general cell layouts. Given a set of cells with their shape lists, a layout aspect ratio, relative po...

Abstract— Double patterning lithography (DPL) is in current production for memory products, and is widely viewed as inevitable for logic products at the 32nm node. DPL decomposes...
—Increasing power density causes die overheating due to limited cooling capacity of the package. Conventional thermal management techniques e.g. logic shutdown, clock gating, fre...
Gate-length biasing is a runtime leakage reduction technique that leverages on the short-channel effect by marginally increasing the gate-length of MOS devices to significantly ...
