To implement high-performance global interconnect without impacting the performance of existing blocks, the use of buffer blocks is increasingly popular in structured-custom and b...

Closed formed expressions for buffered interconnect delay approximation have been around for some time. However, previous approaches assume that buffers are free to be placed anyw...

We describe a new algorithm for floorplan evaluation using timing-driven buffered routing according to a prescribed buffer site map. Specifically, we describe a provably good mult...

Case-based planning can take advantage of former problem-solving experiences by storing in a plan library previously generated plans that can be reused to solve similar planning p...
In today’s networked storage environment, it is common to have a hierarchy of caches where the lower levels of the hierarchy are accessed by multiple clients. This sharing can h...
