In this paper, we study the simultaneous transistor and interconnect sizing (STIS) problem. We dene a class of optimization problems as CH-posynomial programs and reveal a genera...
Process variation has become a major concern in the design of many nanometer circuits, including interconnect pipelines. This paper develops closed-form models to predict the dela...
—Power consumption has emerged as the premier and most constraining aspect in modern microprocessor and application-specific designs. Gate sizing has been shown to be one of the...
