Architecture Optimization

ABSTRACTAn Interconnect Architecture Optimization (IAO) methodology is proposed. The algorithm makes use of fundamental RLCLL2 relations for wiring delays, as well as predictive 3D interconnect density function histograms with y and x axes of wire length and inverse gate delay. The fundamental RLCLL2 relations determine “maximum” wire lengths as a function of wiring size within the wiring hierarchy; the 3D histogram establishes the pre-physical design allocations of wiring nets within the hierarchy. The decision process begins with the set-asides of wiring for power, clock, and vias, and ends with an optimized number of wiring levels and sizes. Some of the major conclusions of the preliminary analyses are: there are no significant problems with wiring at the lowest level as long as the local wire lengths are appropriately scaled; the MOSFET device may not be able to provide enough current to satisfy the capacitive fanout loads within the future allocations of clock period; and the global wires, despite significant improvements in performance, will continue to provide a design and technology challenge for larger chips and higher frequencies.

The Future

This article responds to recent calls for rethinking management education and fostering a spatial understanding of educational practices. We propose to introduce Foucault’s notion of heterotopic space and the spatial thought of Lefebvre into the debate about the current and future state of business schools. In particular, we conceptually and empirically discuss the potential for understanding space in a way that addresses its productive force, its multiplicity and its inherent contradictions. Using the example of an experimental teaching project dedicated to the conception and physical design of a city of the future, we reflect upon the possibility of the emergence of ‘other’, heterotopic spaces within an institution of management learning. Our findings suggest that spatial interventions facilitate critically affirmative engagement with the business school by offering an imaginative approach to management education.
