As technology advances, the interconnect delay among modules plays dominant role in chip performance. Buffer insertion, as a traditional approach to reduce wire delay in 2D ICs, i...
This paper studies buffer block planning for interconnect-driven floorplanning in deep submicron designs. We first introduce the concept of feasible region (FR) for buffer inserti...
In this paper, we introduce a tile-graph-based approach to power planning. For a given flooplan solution, the power inputs are modeled into a tile graph, the minimum capacity of e...
As the technology progresses, interconnect delays have become bottlenecks of chip performance. Three dimensional (3D) integrated circuits are proposed as one way to address this p...
