This paper introduces a new numerical approximation technique, called the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM), in order to derive the rational ABCD matrix representing the high-s...
Power gating is emerging as a viable solution to reduction of leakage current. However, power gated circuits are different from the conventional designs in the sense that a power-...
Interconnect with an insufficient width may be subject to electromigration and eventually cause the failure of the circuit at any time during its lifetime. This problem has gotten...
This paper explores the role of branch predictor organization in power/energy/performance tradeoffs for processor design. We find that as a general rule, to reduce overall energy ...

The increasing performance gap between processors and memory will force future architectures to devote significant resources towards removing and hiding memory latency. The two ma...
