Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Quantifying the relationship between the power delivery network and architectural policies in a 3D-stacked memory device | Many of the pins on a modern chip are used for power delivery. If fewer pins were used to supply the same current, the wires and pins used for power delivery would have to carry larger currents over longer distances. This results in an "IR-drop" problem, where some of the voltage is dropped across t... | | 2013-01-01 |

Pugmire, Ronald J. | Soot formation during coal pyrolysis | Soot can be found in almost all combustion and pyrolysis systems. In a coal system, the impact of soot on coal combustion can be identified in two ways. First, soot particles suspended in the combustion flame significantly enhance radiative heat transfer near the burner due to their large surface ar... | | 2001 |
