A novel and very simple correct-by-construction top-down methodology for high-utilization mixed-size placement is presented. The PolarBear algorithm combines recursive cutsize-dri...
For many years, introductory Computer Science courses have followed the same teaching paradigms. These paradigms utilize only simple console windows; more interactive approaches t...

FPGA application developers often attempt to use pipelining, Cslowing and retiming to improve the performance of their designs. Unfortunately, such registered netlists present a f...
Power gating is one of the most effective ways to reduce leakage power. In this paper, we introduce a new relationship among Maximum Instantaneous Current, IR drops and sleep tran...
Statistical behavior of device leakage and threshold voltage shows a strong width dependency under microscopic random dopant fluctuation. Leakage estimation using the conventional...
