-- Timing optimization is an important goal of global routing in deep submicron era. To guarantee the timing performance of the circuit, merely adopting topology optimization becom...
Buffer insertion has become a critical step in deep submicron design, and several buffer insertion/sizing algorithms have been proposed in the literature. However, most of these m...
