With the advent of deep sub-micron (DSM) era, floorplanning has become increasingly important in physical design process. In this paper we clarify a misunderstanding in using Lag...
A dynamically reconfigurable processor (DRP) is designed to achieve high area efficiency by switching reconfigurable data paths dynamically. Our DRP architecture has a stand alone...
Abstract— Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is a powerful technique for reducing dynamic power consumption in a computing system. However, as technology feature size continues to sca...
