We describe a novel iterationless approach for computing the effective capacitance of an interconnect load at a driving gate output. Our new approach is considerably faster than p...
This paper describes XTalkDelay, an industrial-strength methodology and tool for measuring the impact of crosstalk on delays of paths in a design. The main cornerstone of XTalkDel...
Process technology and environment-induced variability of gates and wires in VLSI circuits make timing analyses of such circuits a challenging task. Process variation can have a s...
In the context of physical synthesis, large-scale standard-cell placement algorithms must facilitate incremental changes to layout, both local and global. In particular, flexible ...
