This paper describes a multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) system for the synthesis of efficient non-linear VLSI circuit modules. The EA takes the specification for a no...
Retiming has been shown to be a powerful technique for improving the performance of synchronous circuits. However, even though retiming algorithms of polynomial time complexity ha...
We propose an algorithm based on singular value decomposition (SVD) to reduce the number of process variation variables. With few process variation variables, fault simulation and...
In modern IC design, the number of long on-chip wires has been growing rapidly because of the increasing circuit complexity. Interconnect delay has dominated over gate delay as te...
