Abstract:Field programmable MCMs (FPMCMs) can be used to improve the cost-effectiveness of large logic emulation and reconfigurable computing systems. In this paper, we consider two MCM-D based FPMCMs developed at UCSC to illustrate the impact of chip size on substrate wiring density and module cost. We then present a simple model of an idealized FPMCM that can be used to generate relative cost and yield estimates for different architectures. Architectural implications of this model are presented including the optimal… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
