Implementation of a thermal management unit for canceling temperature-dependent clock skew variations
Thermal gradients across the die are becoming increasingly prominent as we scale further down into the sub-nanometer regime. While temperature was never a primary concern, its non...

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...
