Fast and exact simultaneous gate and wire sizing by Lagrangian relaxation
This paper considers simultaneous gate and wire sizing for general very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits under the Elmore delay model. We present a fast and exact algorithm w...

Optimal spacing and capacitance padding for general clock structures
Clock-tuning has been classified as important but tough tasks due to the non-convex nature caused by the skew requirements. As a result, all existing mathematical programming appr...

An efficient approach to simultaneous transistor and interconnect sizing
In this paper, we study the simultaneous transistor and interconnect sizing (STIS) problem. We de ne a class of optimization problems as CH-posynomial programs and reveal a genera...

A Timing-Constrained Algorithm for Simultaneous Global Routing of Multiple Nets
In this paper, we propose a new approach for VLSI interconnect global routing that can optimize both congestion and delay, which are often competing objectives. Our approach provi...
