Sleep transistors in industrial power-gating designs are custom designed with an optimal size. Consequently, sleep transistor P/G network optimization becomes a problem of finding ...
Custom design, in which the designer controls the physical structure of the chip, can greatly improve the speed, power, and delay of an ASIC chip without affecting design time. Th...
The width of an interconnect line a ects the total power consumed by a circuit. A tradeo exists, however, between the dynamic power and the short-circuit power in determining the ...
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...
In nanometer regime, the effects of process variations are dominating circuit performance, power and reliability of circuits. Hence, it is important to properly manage variation e...
