— Batteries are non-ideal energy sources – minimizing the energy consumption of a battery-powered system is not equivalent to maximizing its battery life. We propose an alterna...
In this paper we present NoCEE, a fast and accurate method for extracting energy models for packet-switched Network on Chip (NoC) routers. Linear regression is used to model the r...
: Double-Gate (DG) transistors have emerged as promising devices for nano-scale circuits due to their better scalability compared to bulk CMOS. Among the various types of DG device...
Abstract— We present in this paper a new interconnect-driven multilevel floorplanning, called IMF, to handle large-scale building-module designs. Unlike the traditional multilev...
A novel and very simple correct-by-construction top-down methodology for high-utilization mixed-size placement is presented. The PolarBear algorithm combines recursive cutsize-dri...
