Near-threshold computing in FinFET technologies: Opportunities for improved voltage scalability

In recent years, operating at near-threshold supply voltages has been proposed to improve energy efficiency in circuits, yet decreased efficacy of dynamic voltage scaling has been observed in recent planar technologies. However, foundries have …

Swizzle-Switch Networks for Many-Core Systems

This work revisits the design of crossbar and high-radix interconnects in light of advances in circuit and layout techniques that improve crossbar scalability, obviating the need for deep multi-stage networks. We employ a new building block, the …
