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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) remain at the forefront of modern electronic design, owing to their inherent reconfigurability and cost-effectiveness. Recent advances in placement and ...

Soft robots can be far more flexible than their rigid relatives, but their vast ranges of motion makes it hard to map the location of their body parts. A new algorithm could give them greater control ...
