The rapidly shrinking process geometry is a double-edged sword. It allows unprecedented integration of circuits. But it also produces leakier transistors, which is one of the main reasons behind the ...

As digital semiconductor designs continue to grow larger, designers are looking to hierarchical methodologies to help alleviate huge runtimes. This approach allows designers to select and time certain ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Inferences about the parameters in the three-component hierarchical design model $y_{ijk} = \mu + a_i + b ...

Explains the three layers critical to network design: Access, Distribution, and Core Anyone involved in networking and/or telecommunications should be somewhat familiar with the use of layers. Many ...

With the shrinking of technology to deeper sub-micron levels, SoC design is getting more complex every day as more functionality gets incorporated into the chips. As SoC designers navigate this ...

Today’s networks typically include voice, video, network management, mission-critical, and routing traffic in addition to bulk user traffic. Each type of traffic has different performance (bandwidth, ...

Last month, I discussed two key features of the Common Power Format (CPF) that support hierarchical design methodology: boundary port and macro model. These are commands that need to be written to ...
