Scratch-pad memory (SPM) has been widely used in embedded systems because it allows software-controlled data placement. By designing data placement strategies, optimal solutions with minimal memory ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A new suite of benchmarks that should help facilitate research in IC placement, floorplanning, and routing was put to the test in a placement contest at the International ...

In the fast-paced realm of semiconductor technology, optimizing chip design to meet the dual challenges of performance enhancement and cost reduction has emerged as a pivotal focus. A new study ...

Modern network-on-chip could include different types of nodes. Generally nodes that are of-chip external interconnections controllers – external nodes, are used in the system for I/O. Internal nodes ...

In SoCs (systems on chip) used for automotive applications, embedded flash/memories take up almost 50% of the die area; the rest of the area is used for SoG (Sea of gates). To deal with signal routing ...
