A key problem that arises in System-on-a-Chip (SOC) designs of today is the Chip-level Clock Tree Synthesis (CCTS). CCTS is done by merging all the clock trees belonging to differ...
Leakage power has grown significantly and is a major challenge in SoC design. Among SoC's components, clock distribution network power accounts for a large portion of chip po...

Clock mesh is popular in high performance VLSI design because it is more robust against variations than clock tree at a cost of higher power consumption. In this paper, we propose ...
This paper investigates methods for clock skew minimization using buffer and wire sizing. First, a technique that significantly improves solution quality and stability of sequent...
