For the last twenty years fragment assembly in DNA sequencing followed the "overlap - layout - consensus" paradigm that is used in all currently available assembly tools...
Separate optimizations of logic and layout have been thoroughly studied in the past and are well documented for common benchmarks. However, to be competitive, modern circuit optim...
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...
Control of variability and performance in the back end of the VLSI manufacturing line has become extremely difficult with the introduction of new materials such as copper and low...
