The EDA design flows must be retooled to cope with the rapid increase in the number of operational modes and process corners for a VLSI circuit, which in turn results in different and sometimes conflicting design goals and requirements. Single-objective solutions to various design optimization problems, ranging from sizing and fanout optimization to technology mapping and cell placement, must hence...
Fused Multiply-Add (FMA) units are quite popular in floating-point execution units in state-of-the-art multicore processors. It has been shown that, for division operations, using digit-recurrence units consumes much less power and energy than using FMA units which are based on Newton-Raphson approximation algorithms. In this work, we show that digit-recurrence division units can also reduce on chip...
The on-chip global interconnect with conventional Cu/low-k and delay-optimized repeater scheme faces great challenges in the nanometer regime owing to its severe performance degradation. This paper describes the analytical models and performance comparisons of novel interconnect technologies and circuit architectures to cope with the interconnect performance bottlenecks. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and...
