Functional validation is a major bottleneck in the current SOC design methodology. While specification-based validation techniques have proposed several promising ideas, the time ...
— Pipelined ASIC architectures are increasingly being used in forwarding engines for high speed IP routers. We explore optimization issues in the design of memory-efficient data...
In the context of software maintenance, legacy software systems are continuously re-engineered in order to correct errors, provide new functionality, or port them into modern plat...
It is unknown how to include stochastic process variation into fast-multipole-method (FMM) for a full chip capacitance extraction. This paper presents a parallel FMM extraction us...
: In ultra-deep submicron VLSI circuits, clock network is a major source of power consumption and power supply noise. Therefore, it is very important to minimize clock network size...
