Add to ORKGAggressive technology scaling enables the implementation of multicore SoCs (Systems on Chip) for achieving better performance, but it also poses a great challenge due to various bottlenecks varying from architecture level, design level, gate level to interconnect level. This thesis evaluates the scaling effects on two issues- Global Interconnect Delay issue and Metastability issue during Synchronization. The critical paths of a chip are made of global interconnects which impact the chip performance. These critical paths need to be identified and their delays need to be optimized ahead of the HLD (High Level Design Phase) for the fastest timing closure. This puts the EDA (Electronic Design Automation) community in a challenging scenario as ...
