With the prevalence of server blades and systems-ona-chip (SoCs), interconnection networks are becoming an important part of the microprocessor landscape. However, there is limite...
In this paper, we present a simple analytical equation for capturing phase errors in 3-stage ring oscillators. The model, based on a simple but useful idealization of the ring osc...
This paper proposes a fast decoupling capacitance (decap) allocation and budgeting algorithm for both early stage decap estimation and later stage decap minimization in today’s ...

Abstract. Compiler is substantially regarded as the most essential component in the software toolchain to promote a successful processor design. This paper describes our preliminar...
Given a set of pins and a set of obstacles on routing layers, a multilayer obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (ML-OARSMT) connects these pins by rectilinear edges w...
