This paper proposes a yield optimization method for standard-cells under timing constraints. Yield-aware logic synthesis and physical optimization require yield-enhanced standard ...
The existence of non-uniform thermal gradients on the substrate in high performance IC’s can significantly impact the performance of global on-chip interconnects. This issue is...
— This paper revisits and extends a general linear programming(LP) formulation to exploit multiple knobs such as multi-Lgate footprint-compatible libraries and post-layout Lgateb...
Abstract—Multicore systems have not only become ubiquitous in the desktop and server worlds, but are also becoming the standard in the embedded space. Multicore offers programabi...

Abstract— This paper presents a post-route, timingconstrained gate-sizing algorithm for crosstalk reduction. Gate-sizing has emerged as a practical and feasible method to reduce ...
This paper presents the Routing Cost Valleys (RCV) algorithm – the first published algorithm that simultaneously optimizes all short- and long-path timing constraints in a Field...
Among the many techniques for system-level power management, it is not currently possible to guarantee timing constraints and have a comprehensive system model at the same time. S...
