This paper presents iRazor, a lightweight error detection and correction approach, to suppress the cycle time margin that is traditionally added to very large scale integration systems to tolerate process, voltage, and temperature variations. iRazor …
Recent advances in silicon photonics bring significant benefits to "macrochip" grids made of arrayed chips. Such configurations have global interconnects long enough to benefit from the high speed, low energy, and high bandwidth density of optics. In …
Thirty-four undergraduates implemented a MIPS R2000 processor for an introductory CMOS VLSI design course. This included designing a microarchitecture in Verilog, developing custom PLA generation and ad-hoc random testing tools, creating a standard …
