Application of the hierarchical Schur algorithm to the boundary element method for 3D capacitance extraction shifts the speed bottleneck from inversion of the influence matrix to...
A hybrid method of evolutionary algorithms is introduced in this study. The hybrid method includes two additional operations, acceleration and migrating operations. These two oper...
We present novel algorithms for efficient hierarchical collision detection and propose a hardware architecture for a single-chip accelerator. We use a hierarchy of bounding volum...
The continuous improvement on the design methodologies and processes has made possible the creation of huge and very complex digital systems. Design verification is one of the mai...
