While guarded evaluation has proven an effective energy saving technique in arithmetic circuits, good methodologies do not exist for determining when and how to guard for maximal ...
This paper studies microprocessor floorplanning considering thermal and throughput optimization. We first develop a stochastic heat diffusion model taking into account the appl...
In this paper, we study and implement a routabilitydriven floorplanner with buffer block planning. It evaluates the routability of a floorplan by computing the probability that ...

In this paper, we propose an effective algorithm flow to handle largescale mixed-size placement. The basic idea is to use floorplanning to guide the placement of objects at the gl...
We present in this paper a new interconnect-driven multilevel floorplanner, called interconnect-driven multilevelfloorplanning framework (IMF), to handle large-scale buildingmodule...
