Placement and routing are the most time-consuming processes in automatically synthesizing and configuring circuits for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In this paper, we ...
The growth and operation of all living beings are directed by the interpretation, in each of their cells, of a chemical program, the DNA string or genome. This process is the sour...
We present a loosely coupled parallel algorithm for the placement of standard cell integrated circuits. Our algorithm is a derivative of simulated annealing. The implementation of...
The identification of speedpaths is required for post-silicon (PS) timing validation, and it is currently becoming timeconsuming due to manufacturing variations. In this paper we...
Growing test data volume and overtesting caused by excessive scan capture power are two of the major concerns for the industry when testing large integrated circuits. Various test...
