Clock skew minimization is always very important in the clock tree synthesis. Due to clock gating, the clock tree may include different types of logic gates, e.g., AND gates, OR g...
Recent advances in digital microfluidics have enabled lab-on-a-chip devices for DNA sequencing, immunoassays, clinical chemistry, and protein crystallization. Basic operations suc...
Traditionally, rectilinear Steiner minimum trees (RSMT) are widely used for routing estimation in design optimizations like floorplanning and physical synthesis. Since it optimize...
