Closed formed expressions for buffered interconnect delay approximation have been around for some time. However, previous approaches assume that buffers are free to be placed anyw...

As technology advances, the interconnect delay among modules plays dominant role in chip performance. Buffer insertion, as a traditional approach to reduce wire delay in 2D ICs, i...
— In this paper, we introduce a novel substrate noise estimation technique during early floorplanning, based on the concept of Block Preference Directed Graph (BPDG) and the cla...
Research in floorplanning and block-packing has generated a variety of data structures to represent spatial configurations of circuit modules. Much of this work focuses on the g...
Power supply noise is a strong function of the switching activities of the circuit modules. Peak power supply noise can be significantly reduced by judiciously arranging the modu...
