Joint module selection and retiming is a powerful technique to optimize the implementation cost and the speed of a circuit specified using a synchronous data-flow graph (DFG). In ...
A modular synthesis flow is essential for a scalable and hierarchical design methodology. This paper considers a particular modular flow where each module has interface methods an...
This paper presents an efficient hierarchical 3D capacitance extraction algorithm -- ICCAP. Most previous capacitance extraction algorithms introduce intermediate variables to fac...
