Optimal minimum-delay/area zero-skew clock tree wire-sizing in pseudo-polynomial time
In 21st-Century VLSI design, clocking plays crucial roles for both performance and timing convergence. Due to their non-convex nature, optimal minimum-delay/area zero-skew wire-si...

An Improved Algorithm for Minimum-Area Retiming
The concept of improving the timing behavior of a circuit by relocating flip-flops is called retiming and was first presented by Leiserson and Saxe. The ASTRA algorithm propose...
