Shade is an instruction-set simulator and custom trace generator. Application programs are executed and traced under the control of a user-supplied trace analyzer. To reduce commu...
- In routing, finding a rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (RSMT) is a fundamental problem. Today's design often contains rectilinear obstacles, like macro cells, IP blocks, and...
Power grid networks in VLSI circuits are required to provide adequate input supply to ensure reliable performance. In this paper, we propose algorithms to find the placement of pow...
- Advanced process technologies impose more significant challenges especially when manufactured circuits exhibit substantial process variations. Consideration of process variations...
Despite the clear benefits that stream and path surfaces bring when visualizing 3D vector fields, their use in both industry and for research has not proliferated. This is due, in...
