Multiparameter Moment Matching Model Reduction Approach for Generating Geometrically Parameterized Interconnect Performance Models

In this paper we describe an approach for generating geometrically-parameterized integrated-circuit interconnect models that are efficient enough for use in interconnect synthesis. The model generation approach presented is automatic, and is based on a multi-parameter model-reduction algorithm. The effectiveness of the technique is tested using a multi-line bus example, where both wire spacing and wire width are considered as geometric parameters. Experimental results demonstrate that the generated models accurately predict both delay and cross-talk effects over a wide range of spacing and width variation.Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA

China high technology development : meeting the challenge of China's rising power.

61 p.China's rising technology power is of interest to many catching up countries. The level of a state's technological ability is an important determinant of its economic and military strength. This thesis seeks to study how China raises its technological abilities through reforms. Policies and institutions that leverage foreign direct investment and support China's National Innovation System assist China to acquire mature technology and assimilate them to achieve product and process innovations. These innovations build up China's technological learning and industrial strength that form the foundation of China's high-tech system. The case study focuses on China's aerospace industry and how it utilizes China's high-tech system to propel China onto the international stage by becoming the third country in the world to conduct space exploratory missions.Master of Science (Strategic Studies
