TL;DR: This work presents a model of computation for Very-Large-Scale Integrated circuits that represents a trade-off between chip area and computation time, each of which represents a well-defined cost aspect.
Abstract: Considerable attention has been paid to the definition of a suitable model of computation for Very-Large-Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits [1], [2], [3], [4]. The basic parameters of any VLSI computation model are chip area A and computation time T. VLSI systems display a trade-off between these two parameters, each of which represents a well-defined cost aspect: chip area is a measure of fabrication cost and computation time is a measure of operating cost.
