Floorplanning individual pipelined array modules of a larger overall die can yield beneficial results. Critical paths in every pipeline stage of a pipelined design are roughly equ...
In this paper, a novel automatic approach for the concurrent topology and routing optimization that achieves a high quality network layout is proposed. This optimization is based ...
Temperature hot-spots have been known to cause severe reliability problems and to significantly increase leakage power. The register file has been previously shown to exhibit the ...
