Reconfigurable self-timed regenerators for wide-range voltage scaled interconnect

A reconfigurable self-timed regenerator based global interconnect scheme enables graceful degradation of performance and power in wide range dynamic voltage/frequency scaled systems. A test chip demonstrates up to 40% and 25% better performance …

Bubble Razor: Eliminating Timing Margins in an ARM Cortex-M3 Processor in 45 nm CMOS Using Architecturally Independent Error Detection and Correction

We propose Bubble Razor, an architecturally independent approach to timing error detection and correction that avoids hold-time issues and enables large timing speculation windows. A local stalling technique that can be automatically inserted into …

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 …
