— There is a growing interest among service providers to offer new services with Quality of Service (QoS) guaranties that are also resilient to failures. Supporting QoS connectio...
The existence of non-uniform thermal gradients on the substrate in high performance IC’s can significantly impact the performance of global on-chip interconnects. This issue is...
Hierarchical approach greatly facilitates large-scale chip design by hiding distracting details in low-level objects. However, the lowlevel designs have to have a global view of h...
Abstract. We describe fully polynomial time approximation schemes for generalized multicommodity flow problems arising in VLSI applications such as Global Routing via Buffer Block...
