A Design Methodology Realize an Over GHz
Synthesizable Streaming Processing Unit

 

Abstract

A 7.07mm2 synthesizable Streaming Processing Unit (SPU) is fabricated in a 65nm CMOS technology with 8 level copper layers which is migrated from its original custom design to a synthesizable design to get higher design portability with small performance reduction. The logic area is 20% smaller in addition to process scaling factor. Correct functional operation is realized at frequencies 4GHz, 1.4V
