    摘要: A method and system for an infrastructure for performance-based chip-to-chip stacking are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A critical path monitor circuit (infrastructure) is configured to launch a signal from a launch point in a first layer, the first layer being a first circuit. The infrastructure is further configured to create an electrical path to a capture point. The signal is launched from the launch point in the first layer. A performance characteristic of the electrical path is measured, resulting in a measurement, wherein the measurement is indicative of a performance of the first layer when stacked with a second layer in a 3D stack without actually stacking the first and the second layers in the 3D stack, the second layer being a second circuit.

    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product for performance-based chip-to-chip stacking are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A first candidate chip is selected from a set of candidate chips for stacking, each candidate chip in the set of candidate chips including an integrated circuit.

    摘要: A system and integrated circuit (die) including a clock generator that includes an on-chip inductor and uses the inherent capacitance of the load to generate a sinusoidal clock signal. The inductor is connected between a current source and an inverting switch. The output of the switch is a substantially sinusoidal signal that connected directly to at least a portion of the clock driven circuits without intermediate buffering. In the preferred embodiment, the clock generator is a dual phase design that includes a pair of cross-coupled MOSFET's, a pair of solid state on-chip inductors, and a current source. Each of the on-chip inductors is connected between the current source and the drain of one of the MOSFET's. The outputs of the clock generator are provided directly to the clock inputs of at least a portion of the clock driven circuits on the die. In this embodiment, the frequency of the clock generator output signal is predominantly determined by the inductance of the inductive elements and the capacitance of the clock driven circuitry. This design eliminates the need for incorporating distinct capacitor elements in the clock generator itself and produces a clock generator in which a significant portion of the power oscillates between the generator's inductive elements and the capacitive elements of the load thereby reducing the power required to be supplied by the current source.
