Abstract—Buffer resizing and buffer insertion are two transformation techniques for the performance optimization of elastic systems. Different approaches for each technique have ...
The classic algorithm for optimal buffer insertion due to van Ginneken has time and space complexity O(n2 ), where n is the number of possible buffer positions. We present a new a...
Abstract--This paper presents a method for automatic microarchitectural pipelining of systems with loops. The original specification is pipelined by performing provably-correct tra...

In nanometer regime, the effects of process variations are dominating circuit performance, power and reliability of circuits. Hence, it is important to properly manage variation e...
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...
