also investigate how additional reductions in feature size affect the CPI of the three implementations. The feature sizes that we investigate are 1.0m, 0.75m, 0.6m, 0.5m, 0.4m, and 0.3m. The additional area resulting from each scaling is allocated to cache. |

In solving any complex problem, whether academic or industrial, the first step is to clearly define all specifications and make some simplifying assumptions. What assumptions do we make, and how do we know we are not masking some important parameters? It is critical to review some of our assumptions once we arrive at some results and evaluate whether further refinements are necessary. |
