Minimizing power consumption is one of the most important objectives in IC design. Resizing gates and assigning different Vt’s are common ways to meet power and timing budgets. ...
The progress of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) technology opens a new avenue for boosting computing power. This work is an attempt to exploit GPU for accelerating VLSI circuit opt...
As VLSI technology reaches 45nm technology node, leakage power optimization has become a major design challenge. Threshold voltage (vt) assignment has been extensively studied, du...
Adaptive body biasing (ABB) is a powerful technique that allows post-silicon tuning of individual manufactured dies such that each die optimally meets the delay and power constrai...
