Distributing power and ground to a vertically integrated system is a complex and difficult task. Interplane communication and power delivery are achieved by through silicon vias (...
Near-threshold operation has emerged as a competitive approach for energy-efficient architecture design. In particular, a combination of near-threshold circuit techniques and par...

With deep-sub-micron (DSM) technology, statistical timing analysis becomes increasingly crucial to characterize signal transmission over global interconnect wires. In this paper, ...
The progress of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) technology opens a new avenue for boosting computing power. This work is an attempt to exploit GPU for accelerating VLSI circuit opt...
In this paper we propose a novel parameterized macromodeling technique for analog circuits. Unlike traditional macromodels that are only extracted for a small variation space, our...
