Iterative-improvement 2-way min-cut partitioning is an important phase in most circuit partitioning tools. Most iterative improvement techniques for circuit netlists like the Fidd...
A 3D circuit is the stacking of regular 2D circuits. The advances on the fabrication and packaging technologies allowed interconnecting stacked 2D circuits by using 3D vias. Howeve...

Simulation is still one of the most important subtasks when designing a VLSI circuit. However, more and more elements on a chip increase simulation runtimes. Especially on transis...
We propose a hybrid genetic algorithm for partitioning a VLSI circuit graph into two disjoint graphs of minimum cut size. The algorithm includes a local optimization heuristic whic...
The paper presents a new technique for designing a concurrently checking combinational circuit. The technique is based on partitioning the circuit into two independent sub-circuit...
