Circuit interconnect has become a substantial obstacle in the design of high performance systems. In this paper we explore a new routing paradigm that strikes at the root of the i...
In dense integrated circuit designs, management of routing congestion is essential; an over congested design may be unroutable. Many factors influence congestion: placement, rout...
Rising interconnect delay and power consumption have motivated the investigation of alternative integrated circuit routing architectures. In particular, the X Architecture, which ...
Layout analysis is a fundamental step in automatic document processing. Many different techniques have been proposed in literature to perform this task. These are broadly divided ...
As the operation frequency reaches gigahertz in very deep-submicron designs, the effect of on-chip inductance on circuit performance can no longer be neglected. Therefore, it is d...
