Novel binary linear programming for high performance clock mesh synthesis
Clock mesh is popular in high performance VLSI design because it is more robust against variations than clock tree at a cost of higher power consumption. In this paper, we propose ...

Non-uniform clock mesh optimization with linear programming buffer insertion
Clock meshes are extremely effective at filtering clock skew from environmental and process variations. For this reason, clock meshes are used in most high performance designs. Ho...
