Abstract
Generic system-level models for CMOS CPUs are discussed. A novel system-level model for CMOS static RAMs is introduced. These models are used to evaluate the impact of several critical chip and module technology parameters and architectural features on the single most important indicator os system performance, the system clock frequency. A methodology is developed for defining optimal levels of integration for CPU and memory systems
