In this paper, we present a new multi-packing tree (MP-tree) representation for macro placement to handle mixed-size designs. Based on binary trees, the MP-tree is very efficient,...
Continuous scaling of VLSI circuits is reducing gate delays but rapidly increasing interconnect delays. Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) roadmap predicts that, beyond the ...

As a prevalent constraint, sharp slew rate is often required in circuit design which causes a huge demand for buffering resources. This problem requires ultra-fast buffering techn...

Generic database replication algorithms do not scale linearly in throughput as all update, deletion and insertion (UDI) queries must be applied to every database replica. The thro...
