In this paper, we investigate the problem of repeater insertion for low power under a given timing budget. We propose a novel repeater insertion algorithm to compute the optimal r...
Each new semiconductor technology node brings smaller, faster transistors and smaller, slower wires. In particular, long interconnect wires in modern FPGAs now require rebuffering ...
Interconnect tuning is an increasingly critical degree of freedom in the physical design of high-performance VLSI systems. By interconnect tuning, we refer to the selection of lin...

With shrinking feature size and growing integration density in the Deep Sub-Micron technologies, the global buses are fast becoming the “weakest-links” in VLSI design. They ha...
Abstract—Pulse-based data transmission has been demonstrated as a power-saving and high performance alternative to level-based signalling over global distances. Key to its correc...
