In this paper, we study the problem of retiming of sequential circuits with both interconnect and gate delay. Most retiming algorithms have assumed ideal conditions for the non-lo...

In today’s deep-submicron designs, the interconnect delays contribute an increasing part to the overall performance of an implementation. Particularly when targeting field prog...
With the decreasing feature sizes during VLSI fabrication and the dominance of interconnect delay over that of gates, control logic and wiring no longer have a negligible impact o...
Multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects for multi-gigahertz designs in nanometer technologies. For synchronous designs, this requires retiming and pipel...
Abstract—With delays due to the physical interconnect dominating the overall logic path delays, circuit-level delay optimization must take interconnect effects into account. Inst...
