The interconnection delay of pre-fabricated design style dominates circuit delay due to the heavily downstream capacitance. Buffer insertion is a widely used technique to split o...
Over the last years, we have witnessed the increased use of Application-Specific Instruction-Set Processors (ASIPs). These ASIPs are processors that have a customizable instruction...
Complex signal processing algorithms are specified in floating point precision. When their hardware implementation requires fixed point precision, type refinement is needed. The p...

In recent years, structured application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design style has lessened the importance of mask cost. Multiple structured ASIC chip designs share the sa...
Custom design, in which the designer controls the physical structure of the chip, can greatly improve the speed, power, and delay of an ASIC chip without affecting design time. Th...
