A cache access time model, PRACTICS (PRedictor of Access and Cycle TIme for Cache Stack), has been developed to optimize the memory array architecture for the minimum access and c...

In this paper, we study the interconnect layout optimization problem under a higher-order RLC model to optimize not just delay, but also waveform for RLC circuits with non-monoton...
Buffer insertion method plays a great role in modern VLSI design. Many buffer insertion algorithms have been proposed in recent years. However, most of them used simplified delay ...
This paper hierarchically constructs a hybrid mesh/tree clock network structure consisting of overlying zero-skew clock meshes, with underlying zero-skew clock trees originating f...
—This paper studies a natural formulation of the timing-driven maze routing problem. A multigraph model appropriate for global routing applications is adopted; the model naturall...
