Simulated annealing based standard cell placement for VLSI designs has long been acknowledged as a compute-intensive process. All previous work in parallel simulated annealing bas...
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of clustering sequential circuits subject to a bound on the area of each cluster, with the objective of minimizing the clock perio...
: This paper studies pseudo-random pattern testing of bridging faults. Although bridging faults are generally more random pattern testable than stuck-at faults, examples are shown ...
Asynchronous systems are being viewed as an increasingly viable alternative to purely synchronous systems. This paper gives an overview of the current state of the art in practica...
