Overview: .Modeling Microprocessor Performance. focuses on thedevelopment of a design and evaluation tool, named RIPE (RensselaerInterconnect Performance Estimator). This tool analyzes the impact onwireability, clock frequency, power dissipation, and the reliabilityof single chip CMOS microprocessors as a function of interconnect,device, circuit, design and architectural parameters. It canaccurately predict the overall performance of existing microprocessorsystems. For the three major microprocessor architectures, DEC,PowerPC and Intel, the results have shown agreement within 10% on keyparamet
