architectures that avail these emerging technologies.
Network-on-Chip Architectures In the past decade, there have been
several emerging technology proposals both for interconnect as well as for
devices. As the wire width scales down, the resistivity of copper wire is leading
to higher RC delay. The rise in RC delay does not significantly impact local
and intermediate layers as these wires are used for small lengths. The rise
in RC delay has an adverse effect on the performance of global wires due to
their ...
