We present in this paper a multilevel floorplanning/placement framework based on the B*-tree representation, called MB*-tree, to handle the floorplanning and packing for large-sca...
This paper addresses the design of single commodity stochastic distribution networks. The distribution network under consideration consists of a single supplier serving a set of re...
─ In this paper, we present Forge, an optimal algorithm for gate sizing using the Elmore delay model. The algorithm utilizes Lagrangian relaxation with a fast gradient-based pre-...
As the process technology advances into the deep submicron era, interconnect plays a dominant role in determining circuit performance and signal integrity. Buffer insertion is one...
Abstract--In this paper, the problem of bus driven floorplanning is addressed. Given a set of modules and bus specifications, a floorplan solution including the bus routes will be ...
