This paper presents a new method of selecting scan
ipops (FFs) in partial scan designs of sequential circuits. Scan FFs are chosen so that the whole circuit can be partitioned in...
In the past, a priori interconnect prediction, based on Rent’s rule, has been applied mainly for technology evaluation and roadmap applications. These applications do not requir...
Recent work [2] [5] [11] [12] [14] has illustrated the promise of multilevel approaches for partitioning large circuits. Multilevel partitioning recursively clusters the instance ...

This paper presents a linear time algorithm to reduce a large RC interconnect network into subnetworks which are approximated with lower order equivalent RC circuits. The number o...
As general-purpose parallel computers are increasingly being used to speed up different VLSI applications, the development of parallel algorithms for circuit testing, logic minimi...
