We propose a timing-oriented logic optimization technique called Generalized De Morgan (GDM) transform, that integrates gate resizing, net buffering and De Morgan transformation. ...
A new partitioningapproach for very largecircuits is described. We demonstrate that applying a recently developed analytical placement algorithm, that prots from a linear objecti...
This paper describes a new force directed global placement algorithm that exploits and extends techniques from two leading placers, Force-directed [12] [26] and Mongrel [22]. It c...
In this paper, we present an experimental integrated platform for the research, development and evaluation of new VLSI back-end algorithms and design flows. Interconnect scaling ...
— Simulated Evolution (SimE) is a sound stochastic approximation algorithm based on the principles of adaptation. If properly engineered it is possible for SimE to reach nearopti...
