Rephasing: A Transformation Technique for the Manipulation of Timing Constraints
- We introduce a transformation, named rephasing, that manipulates the timing parameters in control-dataflow graphs. Traditionally high-level synthesis systems for DSP have either ...

Extreme Delay Sensitivity and the Worst-Case Switching Activity in VLSI Circuits
Abstract We observe that the switching activity at a circuit node, also called the transition density, can be extremely sensitive to the circuit internal delays. As a result, sligh...

Simultaneous Gate and Interconnect Sizing for Circuit-Level Delay Optimization
Abstract—With delays due to the physical interconnect dominating the overall logic path delays, circuit-level delay optimization must take interconnect effects into account. Inst...
