In this paper, we introduce a framework to estimate the power consumption on switch fabrics in network routers. We propose different modeling methodologies for node switches, inte...
As across-chip interconnect delays can exceed a clock cycle, wire pipelining becomes essential in high performance designs. Although it allows higher clock frequencies, it may cha...
The race conditions often limit the smallest feasible clock period that the optimal clock skew scheduling can achieve. Therefore, the combination of clock skew scheduling and dela...
Abstract-- Network processors (NPs) have emerged as successful platforms to providing both high performance and flexibility in building powerful routers. Typical NPs incorporate mu...
