Abstract
MCSoCs, with their scalability and parallel computation power, provide an ideal implementation base for modern embedded systems. However, chip designers are facing a design challenge wherein shrinking component sizes though have improved density but started stressing energy budget. This phenomenon, that is called utilization wall, has revolutionized the semiconductor industry by shifting the main purpose of chip design from a ...
