Overview

This book describes the first comprehensive approach to the optimization of interconnect architectures in 3D systems on chips (SoCs), specially addressing the challenges and opportunities arising from heterogeneous integration. Readers learn about the physical implications of using heterogeneous 3D technologies for SoC integration, while also learning to maximize the 3D-technology gains, through a physical-effect-aware architecture design. The book provides a deep theoretical background covering all abstraction-levels needed to research and architect tomorrow’s 3D-integrated circuits, an extensive set of optimization methods (for power, performance, area, and yield), as well as an open-source optimization and simulation framework for fast exploration of novel designs.

Author Information

"Lennart Bamberg received the B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. (Dr.-Ing. ) degree with highest honours (“summa cum laude”) in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Bremen, Germany, in 2014, 2016, and 2020, respectively. In 2019, he was a Visiting Research Scholar at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta (USA). This stay was funded by a scholarship of the German Academic Exchange Service, DAAD, and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, BMBF. Afterwards, he was a Technical director at GrAI Matter Labs, where he was in charge of the processor architecture for edge AI. Since 2022, he is System Architect at NXP Semiconductors working on secure-element SoCs for mobile phones and wearables. In parallel, he serves as a guest lecturer at the University of Bremen in electrical engineering since 2020. Lennart Bamberg’s research interests include low-power and domain-specific computer architectures for embedded systems.
