With the emerging process variations in fabrication, the traditional corner-based timing optimization techniques become prohibitive. Buffer insertion is a very useful technique fo...
In nanometer regime, the effects of process variations are dominating circuit performance, power and reliability of circuits. Hence, it is important to properly manage variation e...
A comprehensive probabilistic methodology is proposed to solve the buffer insertion problem with the consideration of process variations. In contrast to a recent work, we point o...
Previous works on buffer planning are mainly based on fixed die placement. It is necessary to reduce the complexity of computing the feasible buffer insertion sites to integrate t...
