In this paper, we present DeFer -- a fast, high-quality and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a non-slicing floorplan by compacting a slicing fl...
Recent advances in digital microfluidics have enabled lab-on-a-chip devices for DNA sequencing, immunoassays, clinical chemistry, and protein crystallization. Basic operations suc...
Due to shrinking technology, increasing functional frequency and density, and reduced noise margins with supply voltage scaling, the sensitivity of designs to supply voltage noise...
Emerging single-chip heterogeneous multiprocessors feature hundreds of design elements contending for shared resources, making it difficult to isolate performance impacts of indiv...
This paper describes a simple and effective quadratic placement algorithm called RQL. We show that a good quadratic placement, followed by local wirelength-driven spreading can pr...
