Abstract

The increasing density of transistors on integrated circuits and the increasing sensitivity toward costs have stimulated interest in developing techniques for relating transistor count to performance. This paper maps different processor configuration to transistor level area models and proposes an optimum evolution path of processor design as minimum feature size of technology is scaled. A parameter for measuring incremental performance improvement with respect to increasing transistor count is proposed.
