Advanced research in VLSI; Proceedings of the Fourth MIT Conference, Cambridge, MA, Apr. 7-9, 1986

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6849084

The conference presents papers on a specialized silicon compiler for synchronizers, a generator of static CMOS layout from boolean expressions, a fine-grain homogeneous message-passage system, shared memory parallel processors, a parallel general-purpose CAM architecture, and an instruction cache design for use with a delayed branch. Other topics include partitioning circuits for improved testability, minimal area sizing of power and ground nets for VLSI circuits, the complexity of parallel computation, and interconnection patterns for parallel computers. Consideration is also given to a new systolic array for singular value decomposition, dynamic delay adjustment, and the use of VLSI in reducing serialization and memory traffic in shared memory parallel computers.
