This work presents a formal probabilistic approach for solving optimization problems in design automation. Prediction accuracy is very low especially at high levels of design flo...
— In this work we investigate the buffer insertion problem under process variations. Sub 100-nm fabrication process causes significant variations on many design parameters. We p...
Process variation has become a critical problem in modern VLSI fabrication. In the presence of process variation, buffer insertion problem under performance constraints becomes mo...
Abstract—Buffer resizing and buffer insertion are two transformation techniques for the performance optimization of elastic systems. Different approaches for each technique have ...
Buffer insertion is an effective approach to achieve both minimal clock signal delay and skew in high speed VLSI circuit design. In this paper, we develop an optimal buffer ins...
