— Fixed-die floorplanning is an important problem in the modern physical design process. An effective floorplanning algorithm is crucial to improving both the quality and the t...
The classic algorithm for optimal buffer insertion due to van Ginneken has time and space complexity O(n2 ), where n is the number of possible buffer positions. We present a new a...
As feature sizes decrease and chip sizes increase, the area and performance of chips become dominated by the interconnect. In spite of this trend, most existing synthesis systems ...
Parallel prefix adder is the most flexible and widely-used binary adder for ASIC designs. Many high-level synthesis techniques have been developed to find optimal prefix structures...
