In a fundamental paradigm shift in system design, entire systems are being built on a single chip, using multiple embedded cores. Though the newest system design methodology has s...
The importance of re-usable Intellectual Properties (IPs) cores is increasing due to the growing complexity of today's system-on-chip and the need for rapid prototyping. In th...
Continuous scaling of VLSI circuits is reducing gate delays but rapidly increasing interconnect delays. Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) roadmap predicts that, beyond the ...

Abstract— This paper addresses the module assignment problem in pinlimited designs under the stacked-Vdd circuit paradigm. A partition-based algorithm is presented for efficient...
In modern digital ICs, the increasing demand for performance and throughput requires operating frequencies of hundreds of megahertz, and in several cases exceeding the gigahertz r...
