The power consumption of integrated circuits is one of the most problematic considerations
affecting the design of high-performance chips and portable devices. The study of power …

Throughput, power consumption, signal integrity, pin count and routing complexity are all
increasingly important interconnect issues that the system designer must deal with. Recent …

We present a conceptually simple approach to generalizing force-directed methods for
graph layout from Euclidean geometry to Riemannian geometries. Unlike previous work on …

Optical interconnects are becoming ubiquitous for short-range communication within boards
and racks due to higher communication bandwidth at lower power dissipation when …

A detailed comparison of optoelectronic versus electrical interconnections for system-on-
chip applications is performed in terms of signal latency and power consumption. Realistic …

Large-scale distributed shared-memory multiprocessors (DSMs) provide a shared address
space by physically distributing the memory among different processors. A fundamental …

Integrated optical interconnect has been identified by the ITRS as a potential solution to
overcome predicted interconnect limitations in future systems-on-chip. However, the …

The evolution of integrated circuit technology is causing system designs to move towards
communication-based architectures. However, metallic interconnect networks (networks-on …

The High-Speed Optoelectronic Memory Systems (HOLMS) project, sponsored by the
European Union Information Society Technology program, aims to make the use of board …

Recent advances in the development of optical technologies suggest the possible
