Multiple personality integrated circuits and the cost of programmability

This dissertation explores the cost of programmability in computing devices as measured relative to fixed-function devices implementing the same functionality using the same physical fabrication technology. The central claim elevates programmability to an explicit design parameter that (1) can be ri...
