This paper analyses alternatives for the parallelization of the Simulated Annealing algorithm when applied to the placement of modules in a VLSI circuit considering the use of PVM...
Power gating is one of the most effective techniques in reducing the standby leakage current of VLSI circuits. In this paper we introduce a new approach for sleep transistor sizin...
