Abstract. We present the first (to our knowledge) approximation algorithm for tensor clustering—a powerful generalization to basic 1D clustering. Tensors are increasingly common...
DSM and nanometer VLSI designs are subject to an increasingly significant thermal effect on VLSI circuit lifetime and performance variation, which can be effectively subdued by V...
Increasingly significant power/ground supply voltage degradation in nanometer VLSI designs leads to system performance degradation and even malfunction. Existing techniques focus...
Classical floorplanning minimizes a linear combination of area and wirelength. When Simulated Annealing is used, e.g., with the Sequence Pair representation, the typical choice o...
Increasing effects of fabrication variability have inspired a growing interest in statistical techniques for design optimization. In this work, we propose a Monte-Carlo driven sto...
