Abstract-- In nanometer-scale VLSI technologies, several interconnect issues like routing congestion and interconnect delay have become the main concerns in placement. However, all...
We propose a timing-oriented logic optimization technique called Generalized De Morgan (GDM) transform, that integrates gate resizing, net buffering and De Morgan transformation. ...
—When manufacturing nano-devices, defects are a certainty and reliability becomes a critical issue. Until now, the most pervasive methods used to address reliability, involve inj...
This paper presents a new approach to timing optimization for FPGA designs, namely incremental physical resynthesis, to answer the challenge of effectively integrating logic and p...

In this paper, we present the parallelization of tabu search on a network of workstations using PVM. Two parallelization strategies are integrated: functional decomposition strate...
