As technology scales down toward deep submicron, large numbers of IP blocks are being integrated on the same Silicon die, thereby enabling large amount of parallel computations, such as those required for multimedia workloads. Network-on-chip (NOC) serves as an important agent to eliminate the communication bottleneck of future multicore systems. Arbiter, a prime component has a great impact on the feasibility of router. In this paper, we concentrate our ideas on the basic arbitration techniques with their features and found some problems with their roles in improving the performance of the routers and finally extending our range to a novel notion of overcoming extensive problems of starvation, HOL, congestion, etc. in a novel and feasible manners with a combination of the existing arbitration techniques in a more compact and sequential form.

This paper proposes a unique embedded system architecture which results in a multi-purpose, auto-programmable, reconfìgurable and power efficient embedded system. The proposed architecture involves single microcontroller along with another digital system and a low cost memory chip to perform a large number of tasks, thus eliminating the use of large number of microcontrollers, by performing tasks of all these microcontrollers alone. This architecture eliminates the use of a programmer to repeatedly program the microcontroller. It re-programs itself whenever necessary, without human intervention (auto-programmable) and can be configured to perform different set of tasks just by replacing the memory chip with another one containing a different set of programs (re-configurable).

A method for scale length determination of Gate all around (Octagonal cross section) Junctionless Transistor is reported in this paper. The scale length expression is obtained by solving the 3D Poisson's equation. Variation of scale length with gate oxide thickness, side length of octagon and dielectric constant is shown. The Transverse and central electrostatic potential profile is also shown for different values of gate oxide thickness, side length of octagon, Channel length and Drain voltage and Gate Voltage are shown. Longitudinal electric field profile for different value of drain voltage is also shown. The scale length value decreases linearly with decreasing gate oxide thickness and side length of octagon and decreases nonlinearly with increasing dielectric constant.

Power consumption of any microprocessor depends on its applied operating voltage & its applied frequency and this power consumption is proportional to V2f. Therefore, scaling of the voltage or frequency will affect the reduction of the power consumption. Again, now-a-days multi CPUs in microprocessors are available. Enabling & disabling of CPUs in a multiprocessor can also effect in reduction of the power consumption. This paper proposed a power saving algorithm of CPU frequency scaling along with enabling & disabling of number of CPUs based on its utilization or Workload. Here both frequency scaling and enabling & disabling of number of CPUs are combined together. The proposed algorithm is implemented in Linux based environment. This policy can be applied in Laptop, Desktop, small gadgets and Server etc.

Constrained Via Minimization is a typical problem in VLSI channel routing. The objective of via minimization is to improve the circuit performance and productivity and to reduce the completion rate of routing. In CVM problem, some vias may be non essential to the given layout. Here we have to be selected and remove from the layout. In this paper, we present a procedure to find out non essential vias. This procedure we used to solve constrained via minimization problems. Then, we show the experimental results and hardcopy solutions of some layout to prove that our approach obtains better results compared to conventional algorithms.

Via minimization plays an increasingly important role in the routing phase in the design process of VLSI circuits and systems. A via is an electrical connection that establishes the connectivity between two layers. Vias are established at points where a net changes layer. But if the number of vias is more, then it not only reduces the reliability of the product but also causes delay and affects the circuit performance. Therefore, via minimization plays an increasingly vital role in the efficient yield of the circuit. In this paper, we devise an algorithm for reducing the number of vias by using the concepts of maximum independent set, net intersection graph and segment intersection graph. Also in this approach the number of horizontal tracks is minimized, thus minimizing the routing area.

This paper presents a novel design to reduce sub threshold leakage current. The leakage controlled transistors are utilized to change dynamically the ground voltage level which is based on output voltage level of logic gate. The leakage controlled transistors (LCT's) are utilized to reduce the leakage power and static energy consumption (static power-delay product) while maintaining the performance of delay. Simulation result based on 32nm Berkeley predictive technology model shows that the proposed technique achieves better performance than conventional designs.

The paper presents an approach for optimizing a reversible netlist consisting of multiple-control Toffoli (MCT) gates with the objective of reducing quantum cost. The MCT gates are first decomposed into smaller gates with up to three control lines, and then a template matching method is applied on the netlist for optimization. The templates are constructed by considering all possible 3-gate sequences with up to four lines. This work constitutes an extension of a previous work by Dueck et al., where 2-gate sequences were considered in the templates. The input gate netlists are generated from the reversible benchmarks available in RevLib, followed by Barenco decomposition to produce Toffoli gates with at most three control connections. The proposed approach is applied on these netlists, and the final quantum cost calculated. Experimental results on standard benchmarks show that the method can lead to reductions in quantum cost.
